I think so much depends on the therapist. My T has been pretty unfazed by my suicidal thoughts and was quite calm about it from the beginning. He was quite practical and matter of fact about the whole thing. I did notice at some point that a book about dealing with suicidal thoughts showed up on his bookshelf that was not there before, but he certainly never indicated to me that it was a hard issue for him. I asked him about it later, when things improved a lot, about the issue that you just raised and he said he did not dislike working with people with suicidal thoughts, but it had been a couple of years for him between clients with serious suicidal thoughts, so he wanted to be sure he had the most current information to be as helpful as possible.
