If you do it this way, save your money for booze and weed. Therapy is hard work.
-
If you're going to replace therapy with drugs, I highly (heh) recommend psychedelics.

It's ok. Your psychologist knows. We all have stuff we don't want other people to know.
The nice way of thinking about it is that you're just not comfortable opening up yet, and that's ok. Literally just say "there's stuff I'm not comfortable sharing with you yet", and then talk a bit about your feelings, and expectations.

Being honest is much more effective. Feels scary. Fear is never a good guide.
-
Issue is that some stuff might get you institutionalized.

Thanks I'm cured

You are welcome! <3

If you're confident enough to be honest at therapy you don't need therapy.

Bullshiiiit. Went to therapy and bruteforced myself, basicallly traeting therapist as any other doc. Learned a lot about myself and opened many doors, some of which helped me drag myself out of miserable state even after my funds ran out.
My sis did the same, and more because she also bruteforced fixing her friend circle during this dropping roughly 2/3 of people she knew out of her life just like that. Also in hella better place.

You could be confident but also have other issues to solve
-
Not necessarily. A good therapist can foster an environment where you can feel safe to be honest. Or, at least, safer than you feel with friends and family.

I see no logic in this statement. Please explain?

Part of the reason I don't go. But the big reason I don't is I can't afford it

Never lie to your lawyer or Doctor, they're both there to help you.
Add your therapist to this list.

Unless it's something they're legally obligated to report.

I feel this.
Me: I'm overwhelmed, but I try to focus on the important things.
Therapist: That's a really healthy way of looking at it.
Me: Like I spend quality time with my kids every day and make sure they always have healthy meals to eat, so who cares if I haven't mopped in a month?
Therapist: (visibly astonished and a little disgusted that I haven't mopped in a month)
Me: (not telling her it's actually been three months)
Don't feel bad. I don't even own a mop. Just a broom and a vacuum that gets used less than you mop.
That certainly makes me feel better about not having mopped in six months.
It's used for spiders (which are large enough for my self-induced LSD arachnophobia therapy to not work for), and when someone visits.
Who mops these days?
I love my steam mop. The machine does most of the work for me and the floor comes out really clean in a few minutes without any scrubbing or bending over and wringing or horrible chemical smells.
In this economy!?
...I don't even own a mop lol
