I don't lie to my T but I will occassionally minimize something. In the past I've just not told a T something but with my current T, I'm pretty open with her. I was referred to her by my old T who was moving and she new that, at the time, I was having suicidal thoughts. I signed a release so they could share notes so I knew that my new T knew before I even walked into her office. She asked me anyway and I couldn't lie because she already knew.

It's definitely been better for me to just tell them. My T's have all been really great about not freaking out and understanding that I wasn't actually at risk of hurting myself.
