Now, it would be different for me because this would be addressing stuff from my past, most likely. While this would be about your parents supporting you now.

But I could definitely see being uncomfortable about it without discussing it with your T beforehand--like does she know what your parents do and do not know about your mental health? Is there anything you'd prefer she keep private? I'd consider asking if you can just do a regular session, then set up a time to meet with your parents in the future.
