It was only the first session. I think it's okay that you didn't feel comfortable sharing everything at first. It takes time to build a new relationship, and time to get to know one another's communicative style. Especially for you, your superb way with words, I imagined you'll need sometime to understand her verbal prose. The fact that you are willing to see her again, is the first step (okay, the second step).
I am one of the few babblers with a female T. I think one can become just as attached, or not, with a woman. My T is beautiful too, but not intimidating. And as much as I could possibly feel comfortable talking about sex to anyone, I do feel I can attempt these conversations to the best of my ability.
Maybe you haven't talked to her enough to hear her voice that tells you everything will be okay. But you will.
Trust that your father-in-law knows what a difficult time this is for everybody. He knows you enough to know that you are not a b*tch. I would be one to let him know why I am hiding in my bedroom, so he wouldn't take it personally. Your husband must have reasons why he wants to keep that information secretive.
When do you see T2 again? And are you able to see your main T once a week still?
Thinking about you,
Annie
