sweet,although i haven't completely experienced it yet, i've been told, and i believe, that working through the transference can actually *help* you get better. it can be a very useful tool in therapy. and i understand being embarrassed to tell him (i'm so embarrassed, too) but i told mine and they are really so understanding about it. it's very common so they're used to it, and they know it's not really about them (even though it may feel like it is to us), so you shouldn't be embarrassed. (easier said than done -- i still feel totally embarrassed talking about it, even though we've discussed it a few times now.)
so, i definitely think you should try to work up the nerve to tell him. it will be hard, but useful, and it may be satisfying and fun, too.
best of luck,
