Only you can decide what to do if it was me I would -

Stop jumping the gun and imagining the worst. possession doesnt mean a thing other than the therapist had a prescription drug on them, in their car or in their home at the time they were approached by a cop.

there are many reasons why a therapist might have a controlled substance in their person or immediate location ie clients ask us to hold all kinds of things for them including their medications, therapists are human can have for example cancer and have the controlled substance of pot on their person, ADHD and have the controlled substance of ritalin,

look around you at the posts here. I bet if you read the posts around here you will find many posts that talk about clients giving their therapists things including medications to hold on to.

just by what you have posted here, it leaves too many questions and too many ways to speculate and jump to the wrong conclusions.

my suggestion own up to the fact that you were googling her name and found the court record and talk about it with her, then decide whether you want to remain a client of theirs after hearing what went on.

if your therapist found out something about you wouldnt you want the same consideration of your therapist talking with you abut what she found out about you before dropping you?

Example what if your therapist was a member of psych central and read this post by you. would it be fair of her to just assume the worst about you, jumping conclusions that you are this that and the other thing just because she found this posting and never see you again?

let her know what you have found and talk with her about it. then decide what you want to do based on reality of the situation not your assumptions and jumping to conclusions of her being mentally deranged or a *****.

Thanks for this!
