I don't doubt for a second that the OP's intention wasn't meant to be threatening - but there is a very realistic possibility is that it could have been interpreted by his T as threatening behaviour. Its not counter productive to advise him to prevent this by talking to his T. Its positive encouragement to OP to turn this situation in to a constructive and healing event, rather than to sit on secrets and shame and let it spiral in to something worse.
It's not a colleague in this scenario; it's a patient - a patient that T presumably knows a lot better than we do.

And I agree it should be spoken about, because I think doing so would benefit OP who seems disturbed by it.

No one has used the words 'dangerously pathological', but I think this is implied by phrases like 'let it spiral in to something worse.'
Thanks for this!
