With both of the T's I have had in the last couple of years, I gave general answers. Neither looked at the intake forms before talking to me or ever referred to them in my presence.

I'm pretty sure I at least lied by omission, if not directly. There were some things I just couldn't say anything about at that point. I "confessed" this to my current T and he said he figures just about everyone does. It takes time to build up enough trust to even mention some things. Hell, I've been with him for more than a year and there are still some things I haven't been able to talk about yet.

My first impressions of T were that he was gentle, affirming and focused on me. That impression has held up over time. I felt a connection immediately. I remember telling my sister after my first session with him that talking to him was like being wrapped in a warm, fuzzy blanket on a cold day. It's still like that usually.
