Your T is right, you can mention its not a good idea to talk to certain family members to your son and explain why, but your adult son is an adult and if he wants a relationship with his family vice versa then he is entitled to establish one. I was in the same position as your son, my mom didn't prevent me but she warn me about certain family members (eventually, I learned that my mom was right ) and I cut them off. But this is something your son has to go through. I was starting to resent my mom for trying to tell me who I can and cannot talk to at 19, 20, so she have up and said it's your life but I will tell you this they are not good people and she will still be supportive of me regardless if she agrees with my choice or not. It's different if he is under 18.... I totally get you want to protect your child, I have many young cousins and a young sister that I always want to protect... However it's their right to have a relationship with him they choose. Not my choice.
As for your relationship with your T maybe write down what you wrote here and your next session tell her how your feeling about your relationship with her and your concerns and or disappointments. I hope everything works out for you!
