I relate to the fear that telling her will end negatively, I really do. However, if you decide never ever to tell her, you won't ever find out about her reaction - you'd only imagine her potential reactions and worry about them.
Could it also be that you need to feel safer with her to be able to tell her? Sometimes, trust is built by taking risks, but sometimes a stronger feeling of safety is needed to take those risks.
How has she been so far with disclosures you've made?

She has been pretty accepting with disclosures I've made, but I'm just worried she might refer me just because I have these feelings :/ I understand part of it is irrational, but I've never had to disclose my past transferences for others outside of my therapy, so if she accepts and validates my feelings, I'm sure it will be healing for me. I just hope the disclosure goes well and I do realize the worst she can do is refer me to get "help" with it and then tell me I'm welcome back...I just don't know how it will go and it's making me
