I'm currently locked in a difference of opinion with my therapist as to whether or not whether or not a client is engaging in attention seeking behaviour when they tell a therapist they are having issues with suicidal thoughts.

I want to figure this out but both of us are set in our opinions it seems.

I don't like to bring things like this up because a former T felt I was looking for attention when in reality, I just didn't want to be left alone with the thoughts.

Current T knows this. I just avoid talking about it at all because I don't want my current T to think that of me, because it is not representative of who I am.

How do you personally feel about it?
