And yes, I'm sure that sometimes therapists do feel discomfort, but again that's not the client's problem, and the therapist should act so as not to allow the client to notice it, in my opinion.
But a good therapist should not discuss their client in any way, unless it's part of their own therapy or their therapeutic supervision (and then the other T is bound by the same confidentiality rules.) I would view that as a serious transgression, that your T said that to his colleague.

So long as it wasn't said to the OP there's really nothing at all with what this T did. I think Ts are human and going to feel uncomfortable with something a client says at some point. They just have to handle it professionally and not ke it interfere with treatment. The worst thing that happened in this case was that he was recorded (unbeknownst to him). It's unfortunate that t happened because with this knowledge it will be hard for the OP to continue until she knows what it was.
OP if you do confront him about this, maybe it will be a good thing. It's true that it's the Ts problem and not yours, but if it's eating at you it will be a relief one way another.
