I am very honest with my pdoc. Part of the reason for that may be that I have been seeing him twice a week for 9 years. Initially, I wasn't completely honest with him, but I started to build up trust in him after I saw that he wasn't going to harshly judge my mistakes. I do get really mad at him sometimes and become really obnoxious. He tells me that this helps him better understand what my moods are like since he doesn't get a chance to see me in daily life when I have them. I find it fairly easy to be honest with someone who doesn't overreact to everything I tell him.
