I don't think it's too much to ask at all. Many Babblers have said similar things to our therapists and received sensitive and therapeutic replies. There may have been rare exceptions, but those say more about the therapist and their therapeutic orientation than they do about the client. You know your therapist best. Does she seem like she would respond insensitively?
Can you say these things to her? Or bring this post in for her to read? I know I did that a lot at one point, and still do sometimes.
I don't think your feelings are anything you need to hide from her. They are perfectly normal and understandable under the circumstances. With the right therapist exploring those feelings can be part of therapy, not a distraction from it.
