When I first started, I was hesitant to trust her. Before the speech on reporting suicidal behavior to next of kin, or homicidal behavior to the person at risk, etc. I had already filled out my paperwork. In the emergency contact field, i intentionally left that space blank.
I don't think she ever noticed. We're beginning to develop this little relationship of ours and I kind of want to be honest and give her the missing information (i'd hate to see her get in trouble over something like that). I feel like I was deceptive, and I was. But honestly after I wrote out the application (2 weeks prior to first appt), I didn't remember I did that until today... How should I go about giving her the information/telling her that this is a sign of my trust? |

Just write the contact info down for her and hand it to her to add to your file. Really shouldn't be a big deal. It is likely that should the necessity to actually need to use that information ever come up, she'd double check it with you anyway. I doubt seriously that she'll consider this "lying" and probably won't bat an eye about it unless you choose to talk to her in some detail about it.

You could just let your T know what you told us
 sharing things like that can really help with growing in your relationship with one another and withholding that piece of information while you established initial trust makes a lot of sense (to me anyway)

Oh I did the same thing. With T1 I would not even give him my address or any contact number. I was paying out if pocket at each session so there was no reason for him to know where I lived and I refused to give him my husbands name and number. He still accepted me as a client. 10 months later I still have no desire to give it to him.
T2 because insurance is paying I had to give him my address but I put my phone number under the emergency contact number.

I gave it to her when I went to session today. She was like "Wow, thank you...wow." I think she didn't realize she missed that lol. But today we tackled on trust, so it was actually a very fitting way to start the session! Thanks for everyone's input!
