As for the original question...I can't think of anything I regret telling T. I definitely don't regret telling him my trauma stuff, even if it felt HORRIBLE at the time to tell him. I'm glad to not be alone with it anymore. T reacts so compassionately to the things I tell him...so even things like "I looked at your facebook profile" or whatever end up being totally fine.
I wonder how much (if any) of what we regret telling T has to do with T's reaction to what we shared?? I think my lack of regret has a LOT to do with how T has reacted.

Thanks tree, i think this might be the only way to tell T stuff...b/c the not telling isn't going to work forever...and the full-on telling telling might be too much...but i can see T reactions with the "hypothetical" type of approach, and go from there based on the comfort level or energy in the room or whatnot.
