we just came back, she hated being there, she had tears in her eyes, i told her we do not have to do it if she feels unconfortable, of course no answer. i told her to think about it and then tell me if i should make the appointment with the therapist.
thank you for your support

Hang in there. It's scary to take that step, it's scary to talk about why she's cutting, and it's scary to think about not cutting. It's like losing a friend because you find comfort in it. Stopping is a process, not an event. Continue to support her. It's okay to push a little because often people want to talk about it to someone, they just don't know how, but don't drag her screaming... if she's that against it, it won't help anyway because she's not ready. Continue to support and remain open for when she is ready....

of course she's going to cry. It's hard. It's scary. It's scary admitting you have a problem.
Maybe have her come on here?

HAVING HER COME ON DS MIGHT NOT BE SUCH A BAD IDEA BECAUSE INSTED OF JUST SHUTING OUT SHE CAN CHAT TOONE OF US WHO CUT OR GO THROUGH THE SAME THING AND WE CAN GIVE HER SOME SUPPORT EXPICALLY AFTER HER THERPERY APPOIMENTS
