Q&A What Advice Do You Have for Polygraphs, Anxiety Induced False Positives, and Full Disclosure During Recovery?

I am the one who posted about the polygraph. I want to apologize for the frustration in the first message and say that I was very upset when I first wrote due to the timing of the question (so soon after we began this course and the actual hour in which it was asked) and it was a topic I thought it was long ago discussed and discarded as not something we should do, and lastly then we start this course I felt like was met with demands that were not a part of the course. This was not the only one. I have much past trauma and anxiety so the polygraph was discussed with therapists as being something that could give false positives and make it look like I’m lying even if I wasn’t when and on top of the fact that they are well known for false positives all on their own not being accurate tests. I don’t want it to give a false positive as I am not lying. Unfortunately there is a lot of pieces to this and I have not handled this well which is why I’m trying very hard to do things right in this course and even though I was frustrated I did post the question. Due to many reasons there have been multiple disclosures, some were my fault where I only answered what was asked and I do have to I fully own that, but other parts were at the instruction of therapists telling me not to say anything or not to say certain things as they would have a negative effect. I have fully disclosed on several occasions in therapy and outside and I have told all there is to tell and each time, but each time he will tell me there was more I said this time and accuse me of trickle truth, so a piece of this is also my frustration with feeling a sense of being penalized if I remembered something I hadn’t said a previous time or said something differently than I had in the past times. I have verbally told him several times what has happened, written it down (at his request) a few times. And answered extensive questions verbal and written forms as well with therapists and without.
