I did this in my first year of therapy--revealed a very significant thing to my T after months of therapy. He was pretty surprised, "why didn't you tell me this?!" and I felt bad I had not, like I had been dishonest. But we talked about that and he told me how a client often can't reveal everything at once until they really know and trust the therapist and have built up a history together. He told me it was OK. It wasn't that I actively lied to him about this stuff, just that I chose not to bring it up yet--until the time was right. That made me feel better. We can't tell them everything in the first months.

Melissa, I think your therapist will understand and will be glad she know this about you now so the two of you can work on it.
