Lie or not, it sure makes me not want to disclose anything of importance again...in which case, what good does it do to be in therapy in the first place? My opinion is, don't say those generalized things if you're not going to follow through. Like "I will never leave you, I will never terminate you, I will always be here for you," those three things I read here on PC that Ts say to their clients way more often than they should. My T has never said these things, and I don't want her to, because it's untrue.
