Psychologist are trained to handle situations like this and by having your parents aware of the situation recovery becomes more likely. However, you can always tell your psychologist your concerns about telling your parents as well if there is a risk of it making your situation worse.

It's important for your parents to know if you're doing such things as self harm. Your parents care about you and love you. They only want you to be safe, happy and healthy. Your well being is more important than them being possibly angry with you
