1.) What is the goal of your therapy? Is it to make needed change(s) in your life? Is it to deal with "family of origin" issues? Is it to deal with your current emotional issues? Yes. All that.

2.) Do you tell / talk with your therapist about everything? No Or are there aspects of your life that you don't even share with your therapist? Yep If so, what effect, if any, do you feel this has on the success or lack thereof of your therapy? I suspect we'll get to just about everything at some point, but I've prioritized by what troubles me the most. It's possible that my judgment is flawed and that some things that I haven't told him are relevant to things we are talking about and he's missing a big piece. If that is the case, I feel certain we'll get there eventually.
