I did CBT journalling with my therapist early in therapy. I don't think there are any automatic thoughts I could have that would have upset him or horrified him.
On the other hand, I think he was pleased to have the fodder for nice cognitive restructuring. And I did not particularly care for having my distress turned into fodder and got, well, mulish. So he modified his approach to make it less obvious what he was doing.
I'm hoping your therapist will sort of skip that stage and go straight to sensitivity. :)
But I really would be surprised if he was upset by what you bring in.
