Exactly how I feel, even if I know that it isn't true. It takes a few times telling me something for it to make an impact.

I like this, and it's probably one of the biggest truths of therapy.

There really isn't. I think Facebook holds the most information and can actually give us insight into how privately our T's want to present themselves. I mean, when I went into Old T's page, she had all her interests, like bands, books, etc. visible for anyone to see. She has to know that clients will search for her, and Facebook is the first place they'll do it. New T, on the other hand, had nothing visible when I went to her page. (Facebook is a great creeper tool!

) The only personal thing she had was her profile picture of her and what I imagine to be a colleague, probably at a convention or something. And very basic information like gender, relationship interest, little stuff like that. She's obviously a more private person than Old T...I guess the interest OT put about "barhopping with so and so" did it for me. And that's fine. She's young and single, she has a right to a social life. But when you're a therapist and you know clients and potential clients might search you, keep it private, for gosh sakes!
