If so,

1- Did you find much?
Yes. First, she mentioned she'd written a book, so I looked it up and read it. Later, I found pictures of her and family, found her address, found former employers, LinkedIn page, etc.

2- Did you tell your therapist that you googled him/her?
Yes, I did tell her everything about it.

3- Did you tell them what you came up with and how?
Yes I did.

4- How did they react?
She was momentarily dismayed that I'd found her address. She was very comfortable after I explained my reasoning, that knowing a lot about her helped me with trust and I had been with her several months, demonstrating clear boundary awareness. She said it just took a moment to come to terms with, because she was new to working online and having info public. I told her I was afraid she'd think I was a stalker. She laughed, actually, and said she knew I was way too busy for that, and that if what I saw reassured me about her, she was glad. She asked me what I thought of her Facebook page, but I was too embarrassed to say. Later, she told me about a blog she wrote, so I could read it for comfort. I totally LOVE my therapist!

5- Do you have any regrets?
NO!
Thanks for this!
