Revelations have a way of making you feel insecure at those times.

But hey, if you're ok with it...go for it.
While I do think the T/client relationship relies on a very delicate power balance b/w T and client, I don't think this is what is going on in this situation. It really is just a matter of me being embarrassed to disclose something to her and therefore not being honest about it.
