Bent -
You are right. It isn't your job to worry about her feelings. You told her about your cousin and her daughter --- that was a lot to share. Did she ask you any follow up questions? Those typically annoying T questions that sometimes actually do help us to talk about our feelings ---
"How did that make you feel when you realized your cousin goes to high school with my daughter?"I identify a little with your reaction. I flipped out when my T was staying at the neighboring hotel that I was over Easter vacation (luckily we never ran into each other). But I was so angry. I did share all of this with my T and it took more than one session to understand my reaction.
Maybe Tamar is right. Maybe the other secret is getting in the way as well. You need to work this out with her. Your T didn't have a bad reaction, just no reaction. It didn't phase her. She will stick by you. You didn't do anything wrong.
