I agree with all this. Particularly asking at a time when you're not struggling--near the beginning of a session could be a good time. That would also give you time to talk about it. (I have a bad tendency to ask about things right at the end of session, though I've gotten better about it.)
Also, I completely understand wanting the reassurance directly from your T rather than from, say, someone on here. As that tends to be the case for me, too.
