Little Daisy had every reason to be mad at him -- she doesn't get the rules, the restrictions. Kids need to feel what the feel for as long as necessary. You were probably never allowed to mad as a child and learned that it was an unacceptable emotion. So, when it finally gets released, Little Daisy gets another dose of silencing. No wonder you rebelled inwardly and wanted to hurt yourself. It's the only way to cope. You don't want to take it out on your T and risk losing him.
I hope you can contact him today and tell him how close you came to danger. He can adjust how to handle it, and I agree he should leave ample time for calming and getting your face on for the world. But he has to do so without Little Daisy feeling shut down and alone.
My T and I haven't quite figured out how to do that yet either. Just another struggle with how to deal with "parts" of self.
Please let him know as soon as possible. He will help.
So sorry your struggling with this.
