yeah this is what my psych said - that SI is neither good, nor bad, but it serves a purpose. It doesn't sound like she is necessarily encouraging it, but more like she's recognized the need to do it, and that the next best thing would be to make sure that you're relatively safe.
Maybe it would be a good idea to ask her about finding other coping mechanisms, but she sounds pretty good for recognising that trying to stop you from SI-ing will do more harm than good.
take care <3
