I agree with this somewhat but not entirely, I do think it crosses the line to go through extraordinary lengths to find out where your Therapist lives, but I have found out other things about my Therapists in the past (such as where they grew up, what activities they like to take part in, among other things) and I don't see any problem doing that and I sometimes think that when you do that and drop in the information later on that it can actually enhance a Therapy relationship.
