I discussed googling my therapist and all my feelings with him as part of our therapy since that was the way he practiced. I found it very helpful and he was not reactive about it.
Just FYI

Thanks. I will take this on board, though I can imagine that if I asked T what topics would be useful to discuss, she would say that's up to me as it's my space.
I could always give it a try and see what she says.
I also don't feel able to be 100% honest with her. I have been 100% honest with Ts in the past and have wound up feeling annoyed that I gave up so much info to them all in the name of therapy whereas nowadays I question the relevance first, what I hope to gain from it and what I think I can realistically expect. I suppose I've become rather cynical.
