My therapist said if I wanted to show her my cuts or scars I can, and I do have a couple of small and old scars on my arms which have been visible but I've never specifically shown her or drawn attention to them.
The vast majority of my self harm is on my thighs and it feels very personal to me so I don't really like other people seeing - obviously sometimes its unavoidable for some people to see but I've never 'shown' either cuts or scars to people. If I was going to show anyone then it would be my therapist but she knows how I feel and she doesn't think its something I need to do she just wanted me to know I could if I wanted to.
