I'm so sorry about what's happening.
It just isn't fair that you should be hurting so much. I think I understand if you mean that you are cutting to help stop feeling the pain inside for a little while.
I read somewhere that women turn their pain and anger on themselves in cutting or depression, where a man would go and hit someone else or smash something up, so I don't think it means you want to kill yourself, just that you want to relieve the hurt inside.
Can you avoid even seeing this person who is causing you so much pain? (Though my guess is that he didn't have a clue what he was doing.)
You said before that you were looking for another therapist so I hope that a different one will be able to help.
I feel so angry and sorry at what's happened to you. You deserve so much better than this.
Love and thoughts.
