question.. what did you want to talk about with your therapist when you brought up the subject with her to begin with? thats how detailed and so on you will get...

therapy isnt this one shoe fits all where everyone only says this much about anythnig. its how ever much you wanted to tell her when you brought up the topic.

depending on what kind of therapy and therapist you have you can expect that since you brought up the topic and this is what you want to talk about, its now in your court on what and how much you say and if you decide not to say anything they may want you to explain what changed your mind on talking about it.

with my own treatment provider I hide nothing including my sex life. my belief and my treatment providers is that if something is bothering me then its worth talking about. thats including my intimacy / relationship issues.

only you can decide what to talk about in your therapy sessions and what not to and how much of what to talk about.
