This has been a good thread for me. The last time I had strong suicidal ideation, I let my T know. He told me that it's just goes with the territory (PTSD). The important thing, is to be able to reach out to someone if I am in danger of acting on the thoughts.

A part of me felt that this answer was a cop out, that he should be able to "fix" me, so that the thoughts never come back. It's good to get reinforcement that this is normal. I don't want to have lingering doubts about my T. This seems to be my tendency -- to want to pick away at trust relationships.
