Disclaimer: I'm not a huge fan of CBT as a whole answer to anything, so that colors my response.
Seems to me you *are* controlling these thoughts, if you think, "It would be easier just to end it than to keep slogging through all this hard work in therapy" and then DO keep slogging through the hard work. Maybe thinking the thought is your release valve, without any real need to DO anything about it? Just a thought... (Maybe I'm saying you're not controlling having the thought, but you are controlling the behavior, which is a good step in the right direction, doncha think?)
Anyway, that's my feedback. Should you call him? Well, if the worry about it will build up between now and your next visit with him, then yeah, I'd call. Otherwise, just bring it up next time you see him. Hope that helps.
