Lying is often done as a means of asserting one's individuality and independence (and it also helps kids get cookies). It should come as no surprise that children raised in very controlling environments are often more likely to rebel and use deception to gain some freedom
Deception is not always bad.
Deception allows us to maintain boundaries - to keep people out, to keep others at a safe distance, and to assert our freedom

Thank you for your reply, My other was deceptive only because he was being told to not say what what he was thinking. He did not feel free. He felt like he was cornered. He didn't want to be there but was told to stay. I don't know who told him to stay and I don't know him. It was an experience I have never had before, where I didn't recognize the thoughts and the feeling. The one at the session was stronger than me. I keep order. That is what I do. All this makes me feel uncomfortable. I know he will be at future sessions. That is what I am told. I just want to know him better. To understand his intentions.
