Firstly, you should be able to tell your T anything without them laughing at you. You are there to work through issues that are bothering you, or which are stopping you being happy. The more information they have, the more they should be able to help.
As for the "Oh Shoot" comment. Maybe the T had an idea of what was going on, but realised the situation was a lot more complicated than they first thought or contained information that they hadn't considered. It sounds like whatever you wrote surprised them.

Soon after I started therapy, I read something about how it can help abuse survivors to voice and process pain and trauma. I thought: "That sounds great, but that's not why I'm there. I'm there to learn what's wrong with me and learn how to be less ****."

Why do the two approaches have to be mutually exclusive? To be less **** you need to understand what is making you ****. That may be something that's wrong or it could be because of the pain and trauma. It could even be a long chain: you're **** because there's something wrong and the something wrong was caused by the trauma. Did that all make sense?
Please note, I personally do not think you're ****. I'm just continuing your analogy. Try not to be so hard on yourself.
Hope that helps.
