As mortifying as it feels, it would be worthwhile for you to bring these feelings into therapy, as it will help lead you to some deeper things. I recently told my T how upset I was about sharing him with other clients and how I feel so insignificant....and then never want to come back.
T told me not to be too critical of myself for those feelings because they are a gateway into something deeper.
We are still working towards figuring all of that out. I still feel totally mortified about sharing those feelings with T...but I know that they are not rational feelings. I get envious of other clients or of his family, etc. at times....and then I realize how much I don't know T...or the things I do know about him that are SO not inviting, LOL...and I realize that my feelings are about something deeper and not necessarily about him, per se.
