There is something to be said both ways.
Things like that I usually save for when both parties are fairly comfortable with each other. Even so, I brought board situations up long before I brought up anything personal. He acted carefully and answered in such a way that left an opening for me to talk about me.
Some therapists are really weird about those things, and there have been some bad outcomes.
But if you feel comfortable enough, and you feel the time is right, I don't know why you shouldn't tell. I think I'd trust my gut.
