I'm sure they omit certain things (such as I doubt they'd tell a client they dislike the truth) and aren't entirely truthful, all the time.

This is a very intriguing point. What is the difference between a therapeutic lie/ a therapeutic trick versus a therapeutic intervention/ a therapeutic technique?
Also, are any of us as humans entirely truthful 100% all the time?
