Welcome to babble! You'll find lots of support here.
Sounds like you know yourself very well, and I think you already know the answer to your question. Tell her! It can only help. I'm not saying that you won't struggle, but it will help your therapy immensely.
I may be crossing a line here, but is there any maternal transference going on with your T? If so, that would help explain the dilemma, and the shame, because we are taught in society not to desire our mothers, although children certainly go through that stage and it's nothing to be ashamed of.
You should be so proud of your efforts. You seem to be working really, really hard. Take the opportunity that is in front of you and if you have the strength, go to the scary parts.
