That's unlikely to happen, Pinkeye, if your therapist acts professionally. It's likely he's experienced it before. Some probably handle it better than others. But if you can't be honest about this with him, it will be like the pink elephant in the room. Your attention will be divided and it will make therapeutic work difficult. And if he doesn't handle it appropriately, then no matter how you feel about him, he probably is not the therapist for you.
I know it's scary. I've made a number of leaps of faith with my therapist. Some worked out better than others of course. But we've muddled through.
