He won't feel bad. He will look objectively at the fact that you are worried that your therapist will get sick - and try to understand why it is an issue for you. They do this all the time - they have to know how not to take things personally.
If you think it is self-centered to worry that he's going to get sick, and you think that is a bad thing, then it is a good thing to work on in therapy. Where else can you be honest about stuff like that? If you think it is OK to be self-centered about it, then you don't have to work on it in therapy...
Just don't stop talking about this because you think it isn't one of the "hard" issues. How much time and effort have you put into this thread? Would you have done that if this wasn't important to you?
