So I'm pretty new to the forum but this topic caught my eye since it's almost exactly what I did last night. I was super curious about my therapist (he is actually a student in training) and he is young. I was guessing he was about 2 years older than me but after doing some online online stalking, I think he might be the same age as me. Anyway, whenever I ask him personal questions he is so vague with his answers. I completely understand why. He is probably scared of patients stalking him. I didn't even know his last name until I realize he made me sign a suicide contract and that he had signed his full name with it. So last night I looked him up on facebook and to my surprise, he was on there. The profile wasn't completely private so I got to see pics of him and his girlfriend, what city he lives in, where he went to school, his interests, etc. I think most of us do it out of pure curiosity. Here is this person that we tell our most private thoughts to and we know nothing about them! I just wanted to know something about him, it gave me a sense of power. I'm thinking about telling him just to see how he reacts. I guess he could have a bad reaction to it. I understand he is a student and this is new to him, but eventually one of his patients will look him up as well. He should probably think about making his Facebook completely private. I still want to know how old he is because if he is the same age as me, I am going to feel so awkward and inferior!
