First off, welcome! I hope it can be of some help being here; vets is a lovely bunch!
I think you are being very brave in 'admitting' all this, good for you. It's a huge and hard first step, and you have done it.
It sounds like you have a very good therapist. I can understand tho, why you are frustrated. I often want to be 'well' yesterday. But it is, unfortunately, a slow process. But i believe it needs to be this way for it to take hold, for real change to take place.
Not what you wanted to hear I'm sure, sorry.
Perhaps you could discuss limiting the amount of times you SH? But you mentioned that you dissociate and then harm, so I'm not sure if that would work.
Has she given you any ideas of what you can try to do for distractions?
Are you able to recognize your 'triggers'?
I'll stop there, that's a pile of questions, sorry!
Again, welcome. I hope we can be of some help and support.
