The way you gotta approach is it to make sure you clarify that you don't have plans or intentions.

If you get intrusive thoughts or bad feelings, well that is actually extremely common, and the vast majority of people who get disturbing intrusive thoughts don't act them. The vast majority of psych professionals know this.

But if you talk about plans to harm yourself or others, or if you tell them you think you might do it (intent), then they are naturally obligated to take protective measures.
