Part of me wants to not tell my t when i start group or not tell the group that i am attending individual t but i know that this is unethical and puts my t in an awkward position. I respect and like t too much to do this but the thought of losing our therapeutic relationship scares the life out of me

Who's telling you it would be counterproductive? Apparently not your individual t because you said he doesn't know. Must be the group t saying this?
I've been in group therapy and it was really helpful. My T encouraged me to go and it never seemed counterproductive to us, but maybe that's just my experience.
I do think you absolutely MUST be honest with everyone involved though. Personally I wouldn't give up my individual therapy to go to group therapy. I would only use group therapy as an adjunct to my individual therapy.
