I know the feeling, unfortunately. I told my T I was jealous of his dog as T was telling me something about being protective and comforting of his dog.. I was also embarrassed and told T I felt so pathetic to be jealous of a dog..

I don't get why you wouldn't tell your T because really- do you have that much power that disclosing that to her will cause her to act differently, to treat the dog differently? I think your boundaries are mixed up-you're mixing up your feelings and thoughts with hers. Is that what you would do if someone told you something you did made them uncomfortable-that you would change your behavior to appease or accommodate them to make sure they don't feel any discomfort?

She is her own person. Maybe she would be glad to learn about your feelings.
