Just Lie.
Which ever dumbass that said "honesty is the best policy" is a fucking liar.
I read enough news articles to know this, if you want to preserve your freedom (that is, the very little remaining freedom that you still have under this ultra-capitalistic world), you have to lie, otherwise you will end up in a place wose than prison.
- Therapy is usually voluntary, and the people going are going for a reason and that's usually to better themselves or help themselves in some way. So lying is just a massive waste of money and time.
  
  If you wanna see an even more massive waste of time and money, just mention to the wrong therapist that you have thoughts of suicide. Then you get a nice 72 hour forced hold at a facility that will then charge you thousands of dollars for the privilege of being involuntarily held there.
  But hey, at least you were honest.
  
  Not that I go to therapy anymore, but you could still get some benefits of therapy without saying "I wanna wanna jump of a bridge right now".
  Ironically, if I had said that, I'd be dead, because they'd lock me up and I would fucking hate life even more and I would have killed my self.
  It's so ironic, the more they try to "help" you, the more harm it does.
  
  Therapy is voluntary, getting admitted to a psych ward isn't
- Don't listen to this person.
  
  Might come down to what direction you want to go far in, I think.
  
  Oh sure. If you gauge success by the definition provided by capitalism then yeah, being more like a sociopath is beneficial.
  
  Hmm I wonder how the people in the little mid huts manage to live without bills, debts, mortgages, streaming services, Walmart... But yeah... You keep doing exactly what you're supposed to do and we'll both watch it all burn.
  
  I'm tired of people like you. You have the critical thinking skills of a white, 50+year old American man. But what else should I expect from a product and not a human.
  
  Well yeah, subjective honesty is useful in a lot of social interactions. But this isn't lying to your boss or teacher or whatever. This is lying to your therapist. They have very little authority over you and an official interest in your wellbeing. It might be a good idea to lie if you are actually a suicide risk and don't want to get institutionalized or if you are actively planning a crime which isn't covered by confidentiality. But otherwise, you're hurting yourself by not letting them effectively work on your problems.
