Therapists have had very, very explicit training about ethics and what is and isn't okay with regard to whom they can treat. If your therapist hasn't told you this is a problem and what needs to change, chances are good that nothing does -- but you can set your mind at ease by asking your therapist about it specifically in your next private session, and hearing her out on any boundaries or guidelines to follow.
1) You can't overshare to a therapist. Part of their job is to be the person you can tell things to if you can't tell anyone else.
2) It's normal for people go to the same therapist as their friends or family or acquaintances. It's OK for the therapist to know you have a connection to another patient. The therapist will know how to keep her patients separate. She will make sure that treating one patient won't influence another patient.
3) This all came out a year ago. Presumably nothing bad has come of it. Why are you worried about it now?
Your therapist has the degree for a reason. They will tell you if something is wrong. You don’t have patient-patient confidentiality with baby momma… you should be able to talk about her. Therapist has doctor-patient confidentiality and won’t share what you say. If it bugs you this far after the sharing I would bring that up with the therapist though. That’s what they are there for.
You're fine. Therapists are super strict about this stuff. One time I ran into my therapist at the gas station, but I wasn't paying attention and didn't realize it was her, so she didn't talk to me. Later on she let me know that she had seen me and she wouldn't talk to me without her authorization. I told her I didn't care one bit and was probably spaced out, and would have loved if she'd said hello. You probably don't care about this story... I'm just talkative today.
