I really hope that you can at some point bring up your feelings about this. FWIW, it would bother me, fair or not. I would feel that it somehow impinged on the privacy of my relationship with my T. Especially seeing him engage in what might appear as a therapeutic dialogue with a stranger on-line: would I hear echoes of phrases he'd said to me? I think my emotional reaction would be to lose some of my belief in his sincerity and our connection. I'm not saying this reaction is rational, but it is honest.

I live in a small University town when I'm in the States. Yet, in 11 years, I never ran into my T anywhere. I don't think that was an accident. I think it was because he quite deliberately kept a low social profile to minimize the chance of meetings in order to protect the frame of the therapy for his clients. I appreciated that.
