I think that it dependa on the lie. People lie for all kinds off reasons. For me, it was probably a trust. I wasnt so muh an outeight liar, more an evader off the truth e.g. 'have you self harmed at all this week?' 'no'

maybe its a reflex for protection or somethig.

At the same time though on another week where im thinking my T is the don, i might wabt her attention and exaggerate things.

J can see what your sayig and i know this is just as hypocritical as a response but for me no two therapy sessions are the same. I can feel completely different one to the next. Sometimes i can say something i think.is the truth and my T could brinf it up a week later and even i wwouldthink its bollocks but maybe thats how i felt then, who knows.

You may or may not be able tobrelate to this; we are all different.
