Are counselors used to this?

Long story short exwife and I started going to marriage counselor. Wife had no interest in trying so she stopped going. I continued to go sporadically on my own.

Divorce is now over and I have appt. coming up and realize there are a few major things that I have not been telling counselor. Most of it is behavior after divorce started 2 1/2 years ago. A bit I did talk about during marriage counseling but held important parts back as it didn't change the problems we were having, just would have drug another person into our mess. (It was EA I had. Turns out wife and I were both engaged in some type of affairs. I stopped and wanted marriage To be fair to her I did confess, I was never caught. She got caught.)

I know she can't help me if I'm not honest and I want to get past divorce and deal with some other long term issues I have.

Should I just go in and say "I have to retell my entire story from 2010 until today?"

Part of the reason I started the 1/2 truths was to "protect the innocent" which is no longer a concern. Another reason was just embarassment.

Anyone else feel they wasted years of counseling being hesitant to spill their real guts?

How do I handle it?
