If my T were so inclined to tell me a lie, I suspect it would be a "white lie" - but as it is, rather than lie, he tends to redirect. The only time I think I've ever found him to be untruthful (but not openly lying in any way) was when a tragedy in his own life struck. I kept picking up that something was off, but when I pressed, there happened to be several issues all going on at the same time and he told me about the lesser ones (although severe in their own right) and omitted discussing the very significant tragedy.
It came out several months later when I inadvertently triggered him.
