There seems to be a lot going on here!
I'm really glad that you could put all of those feelings into your email. I don't think it matters if you say it to his face or email it - you were able to get the information to him.
It is really important for you and your therapist to be working towards the same goals. Talking about what the priorities should be is incredibly important. I'm sure that you each have something to say that the other needs to know about.
What little you have said about him makes me think that he is a good therapist: "and of course he was not judgemental. never is so i don't know why i obsess about it. he opened the door to talk about it " Those were good things for him to do - not being judgemental, and opening the door but not pushing.
Since you have just made him aware of your concerns, could you give him a little time to work this out with you? Give him a couple of sessions at least? You might find that he really does understand more than you know.
How long have you been seeing him? Is he your first therapist?
Best of luck
