Yes, she should have not been doing that. Yes, she should have sent a message saying that she made a mistake. Here's hoping that she will at least apologize and explain herself when you see her next.
But it doesn't have to mean that she was spying on you. It's no different than people looking up their Ts... it's just normal curiousity. I'd try to look at it like that until getting to talk to her. 
((Side-note: if my T added me to his fb, we'd probably have mutual friends and I wouldn't mind at all - everything on my fb is "Niece-friendly"!)) |
Funny, I thought about it and no, for me it's totally different. I can see why ppl would look their Ts up but I'd be worried if a T was doing that. Seems too client-y (needy, insecure, obsessed... Whatever). We have only one T, therapy is all about us so it makes sense some clients get a bit obsessed with their Ts, should not be the other way round though.
Same rules just don't apply- imagine T calling/texting a client because he missed them, needed to held on to the connection...
So yeah, if I found out my T was visiting my FB page (or any other) just because he felt like it, I'd freak out- for me this would me he doesn't believe me or he's in too deep with me. All and all a reason to find a new T.
