I used to worry about it, and I told my T how I felt - that I felt like I was dumping all my crap on her, that I was some how contaminating her by subjecting her to my issues, etc. She told me that she does not feel dumped on or subjected to what I tell her...that she is honored that I choose to share with her and that she is glad she is able to help me. She has assured me that she in no way feels contaminated by what I share.
So, I've tried not to worry about it so much...the thoughts still creep in, but then I stop myself and tell myself "wait, T has already told you how she feels about this, and it is okay to share with her."
