Hi Mair,
This has actually come up quite a few times in my own therapy, since I have an enormously sensitive mood barometer along with a tendency to weave fantastic stories about things I don't understand. Fortunately I have always have had a policy of absolute honesty with my therapist and have always mentioned it. He's good enough and professional enough to own up to the truth of my perceptions without defensiveness, while making sure to not make me feel responsible for his feelings. If you have a professional and competent therapist, I would bring it up in a nonjudgemental way. Therapy is difficult enough without an unspoken cloud hanging over it.
