I know it's good to be reminded that my therapist is a human being but at the same time I feel a desire to find another therapist!!!  I no longer think of my therapist as a positive role model  . Only as a hypocrite  . I see this person as a screw up just like everyone else  . And the fact that my therapist is a SHE now makes me think that she is probably a *****, too. Probably has promiscuous sex with men and women and does all sorts of crazy stuff.
What should I do??? Should I confess to my therapist that I looked her up online? OMG! That would be SO awkward and I would feel SO embarrassed! And should I mention exactly what I found? And what if I bring the court record to the attention of her boss? Is it better if I just ask for another therapist? I don't know what to think!!!

I think that googling for your T was perfectly acceptable, as Threehouse already stated..! I done that too for my T and I keep on doing it whatever I have to go to another doctor of any kind... I think there's nothing wrong on wanting to know some major informations on who will heal you. We put on it health, money and time... we have the right to do our researches.
About your fantasies... well, I would be a little more cautious on drawing a conclusion. About the promiscous sex and all that stuff... that is really just something you can't said for sure, or even for probable

. It could have gone any way, you just can't know it.
The only way to know is asking, and then decide what to do. If you are not comfortable anyway, then just find someone else.
Take care!
