No, you're not the only one by *any* means, and there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Have you ever read the book "In Session" by Deborah Lott? It can help you put what you're feeling into perspective.
Obviously it's not good for your progress in therapy if you want to please her so much that you can't be totally yourself with her, so it's something worth talking about. And the best way to talk about it is just to tell her what you wrote here. You could even print it out and bring it to her. This won't be the first time that she's heard it.
It's only natural, when you think of it. We build up a trust with them, we think highly of them. It's such a natural part of being human that you really shouldn't feel bad about it at all.
