As long as you don't show disclose intent to harm yourself or others then you're fine. Note that ideation is not intent but where exactly that line lies will depend on the therapist.

Generally speaking, saying that you have thoughts of suicide is fine, but saying that you went out and bought a tank of inert gas, some hoses, and a big plastic bag, will get you put on a psych hold.

    I know this at least doesn't include if you're discussing child abuse and don't intend on harming anyone yourself. But I'm more worried about the stuff I don't know about. And to be perfectly honest, the situation in my country is so bad that I don't think every desire to harm others is necessarily unwell.

    It's definitely not. But once again the line is between stating desire and stating intent. You won't get put on a hold for saying you want someone dead. You will get put on a hold for saying you are going to kill someone and have a plan to do so. Somewhere between those two points is the threshhold where some mental health professionals will report you and some won't.
