Could it be because you care about your therapist, so you care what your therapist thinks of you?
I hope you're able to convince yourself that by being open with your therapist the chance of deepening the relationship and of course allowing his help far outweighs the hopefully small chance of a negative response.
I never listen to the advice of professionals I barely know about my therapy. They can't possibly have enough information to make a legitimate conclusion, particularly in a single session that focused on a wider range of issues than your therapeutic relationship.
But maybe you could use this experience to visualize being that open with your therapist?
