I am freaking out a little bit.

I have a public blog where i write about my art therapy sessions. I started it because before i started art therapy i could find nothing about what one was like from the perspective of a client and thought it might help others thinking about going down that route. Also it's a good outlet for me and a way of processing my sessions. But i never told my therapist i have this blog because i worried that if she looked for it or asked to read it that i would filter what i wrote and about my feelings and i didn't want that, i wanted my blog to be real and raw. I have changed all identifying information, names,places, etc. Everything like that is protected. But i do show my art work from sessions and talk about what happened in each session.

I've always felt a bit guilty and wondered bout whether i should tell my therapist, would she be uncomfortable with it? But now it's been so long i'm a little scared to tell. And also i asked for opinions about this and had one quite nasty reply and one nice reply from a therapist who did wonder if it was her client if she'd feel it would change the dynamic in therapy if she knew it was getting written about? So now i'm really worried, i don't want me and T's dynamic to change, i don't want her to think i'm dishonest. I'm scared to tell her but i think i might have to now or just close the blog down.

What do you guys think?
