She is there to give me feedback on whatever issue I present to her. My current issue is not that I have an obsessive-compulsive need to document everything. So, not relevant to me, therefore not relevant at all.

The thing about therapy is that we don't always know what's relevant or significant, or we wouldn't need external insight to untangle everything. Certainly there is more to a decision to hide the fact of recording someone than just indifference, otherwise I think it would be equally easy to disclose it.
It's not about being responsible for her feelings, it's about basic respect, as the OP recognized in their first post. Therapists are not simply functions, they are people, so I don't think they should be treated as inanimate input/output devices but with integrity.
