Hi TF97. Welcome to PC.
I have to admit, my first thought was, "Awkward." I didn't want to just post that because this is clearly a serious matter and I don't mean to minimize the impact on you.
It's so unfortunate that you overheard him. Before that, did you have a feeling that he was in any way uncomfortable? I ask b/c it's possible that he was having a bad day or that, while he might have been uncomfortable, he was dealing with it. Is he fairly new to this?
I'm not good at talking about things like this but I think it may be the kind of thing that would be hard to forget. I think the healthiest thing to do would be to discuss this with your T. It may be that the therapeutic relationship between you is ill suited, in which case you're better off knowing that now.
I think that if it was me, I'd be obsessively upset about hearing that comment.
