Currently I’m seeing only a school counsellor once every few weeks but not a psychiatrist, and it’s been progressing well. But due to a few overwhelming triggers a few months ago I’ve begun  cutting nearly every day, and I don’t know how to tell my therapist about it.

Part of me feels guilty because I’m afraid it’ll give off the impression that the therapy isn’t working even though it really is and I don’t want him to feel bad about not being able to help me. And another part of me is scared that if I tell him, he might escalate this and send me to a psychiatrist as well.

I’m just not sure what a counsellor will do in situations of their patients admitting to self harming, would appreciate some input.
