I lied to my therapist (need advice!!!)

I lied to my new therapist when she asked if I knew what cptsd was.. because I do, and it’s one of the reasons I chose her. But I know some health care professionals don’t believe it’s real, and I was scared she wouldn’t believe me if I said I knew.

But now the guilt and shame is eating me up all week because I’m scared she won’t want to work with me anymore,won’t trust anything I say anymore, and realize I’m just faking everything for attention (that’s what my parents always thought). I’m scared of getting in trouble with everyone for like basic things, teachers, parents, friends, therapists, etc.

I don’t want to start our relationship off by lying, I just panicked. But I feel like it was pretty obvious I was lying to her.
