I don't think she will know if it indicates a pattern. You will know that, though. Do you have a string of past relationships where you threw yourself into them, revealed all quickly, etc.?

Suratji, many people go for months and months and months before they share the important information with their therapist, and dare to become vulnerable, etc. I don't think your candor is such a bad thing. Has your T done anything with the information you've shared to hurt or harm you? I.e., has she shown herself to be untrustworthy?

Good luck tomorrow at your session. Everything you've written, Suratji, makes me think you are moving very quickly through the therapy cycle and making a lot of progress. It may not be apparent now, but I think a lot of big gains are around the corner.
