I think it's only dishonest if t asks you directly and you lie. To not bring something up may feel like you're hiding, but if you don't want to work on it, then why would you bring it up. Therapy is for you to work on what you feel is important; not what the therapist wants to work on. I have an issue that I never bring up bc I don't want to work on it. I don't really feel like I"m hiding it; I just have no need to discuss it. And the one time a t did ask aobut it, I just replied that, yes I do deal with (this issue), but I don't care to discus it, and she dropped it.
