You are telling yourself that she won't believe you, or that expressing yourself will be viewed as wrong somehow.
This sounds to me like you have a hard time trusting yourself, your own feelings and the expression of your own feelings. Your feelings are not wrong and you're not being manipulative to express them. That's why you're in therapy! Have at it!
It's your time and your space. Allow yourself that.
You have a right to your own feelings and you have a right to have them heard.
