Keeping secrets from your T makes you unhappy and keeps him in the dark. Sharing what embarrasses you forces you to be honest and upfront about your emotions and helps you learn to be more emotionally self-aware. I doubt it would shock him to learn how you feel or make him think you are pathetic. Most T's are well aware that therapy often makes people feel dependent, attached, jealous, etc. Working through these emotions with your T is the whole point of therapy.
