I'm glad it went ok, and congratulations on the promotion!
I doubt it's necessary to go into much detail with the gynecologist, unless they feel they need to know for medical reasons. My experience with them is that they really would prefer you to have meds if you're going to be really anxious, since that makes it easier for them. Extreme anxiety makes gynecological procedures quite difficult. Plus, they have a fair amount of experience, and can probably come to reasonable conclusions based on the request, without you going into a lot of detail. If you tell them you have a therapist or psychiatrist, they'll likely feel there is no need for them to look into it closely.
Or at least my doctors have never been particularly demanding in their questions.
