I'm definitely in the "force myself to be honest" camp.
I like my T, and I think he's good at his job, but I find it really, really, hard to share things with him if it really involves emotions. I don't trust him even though I am trying to trust him.
So I tell him most of the things that I would tell him if I did trust him. And I answer questions honestly, although I know I don't always give a full answer.
I have the attitude that it's his job to try and help me, but he can't do that if I lie and withhold everything. And I feel guilty at the thought of making his job harder for him.
