I do lie to my therapist sometimes, mostly because like you said, I don't want her to be disappointed in me. Although by "lie" I generally mean I don't tell her something I really ought to tell her.

But as others have mentioned, lying doesn't hurt anyone but myself. Being honest is often painful and/or embarrassing but if I hold things back then I won't make progress.
