Maybe write her about that thing you did years ago. If no one got hurt I don't think she's going to make an issue from it now. It would have to be something life threatetning in the present for her to notify the police. It's easier to write such painful things down and let the therapist read it - I know that from my own experience.
The way we feel about ourselves has little to do with our true worth (we're all worthy of love - except sociopaths imo) and a lot to do with the way we were taught to see ourselves in childhood. Kids that weren't truly, unconditionally loved become later adults who don't like themselves. So, you don't have to be a bad person to feel bad about yourself. From what you've written I'd say you're pretty conscientious and that's a very good thing. :)
