writingwithink, you bring a good perspective to this thread. I think that all angles should be considered.
Brighter, I think you should consider how much this will affect your relationship with your therapist, and if there is any other way to feel better about it. If you feel unable to get past it without talking about it with your T, I still would advice bringing it up with her even if it may hurt her feelings.
In the therapeutic relationship, the therapist is responsible for her feelings. It isn't advisable for you to keep something hidden from her only because you think it will hurt her. That said, I might leave out the part about thinking she is a *****. If you bring it up, I would express your concerns, whatever they may be, but in a way that doesn't automatically put her on the defensive.
