Self harm and confidentiality in counselling - November 28th 2017, 06:05 PM
I scratch my skin with a pin - is this self harm even though it just leaves scratches that don't always even bleed.
I currently go to counselling through school because of another issue but if i tell my school counsellor about this will they have to tell my parents and the school ? I know confidentiality can be broken for self harm but i wasnt sure if confidentiality is only broken with serious or life threatening cutting?
