I have also brought things I have written to therapy and told my T that I did not want to read it out loud. She asked if she could read it out loud and I had said yes and she did then we talked about after.

Then I have also brought writings that I didn't want her or I to read out loud, ones that I only wanted her to read when I was not there, so she would know how I felt about something.

Therapists are pretty good at allowing you to control what you want, that doesn't mean they won't ask you to read it, mine did once and I said fine but I am just going to read like a story lol, yes, I had a little attitude then because the reality was at that point I didn't want to read it but didn't want to dissapoint her either. Since then I have made it known how I want certain writings to be taken care of and she is good at honoring that.
