I second what Terabithia. said above,
Don't be afraid to tell your therapist, she/he is there to help you through this, You don't have to be in this alone. You have a valuable resource at your disposal and I suggest you take full advantage of it.

I understand and know all to well the fear of hearing the words "well, I have to send you to......pink slip yada yada" But as stated above, ask if there is an alternative that can be tried first.

Another thing you could try is to do this: ask the following "Hypothetically, if I was to be pondering the though of suicide, what are my options?" Granted most therapists are keen to the hypothetical meaning (I am but don't want to tell you outright) which is fine, if he/she then says something that you think you can work with, then do it.

I wish you the best in your en devour and know, we are all here for you.
