Except for the online dating profile of my psychiatrist, he and my T are relatively anonymous online. He has no social media presence - no Facebook page or anything like that. My T has one but only keeps the pics of her daughter available to the public (she shares them with me in session when she had new ones anyway). The rest of her profile is private. There is zero to indicate anything about her life other than she has a dog and a child. I know a couple of lawyers who do Facebook but under pseudonyms and no public pics of themselves, family. I find it interesting that so many professionals who might benefit from the privacy allow so much of their personal life to be shown on social media sites. I think Ts can be so clueless about the impact this information can have on their clients. It takes some effort but is not difficult to keep your privacy and share what you think is appropriate but if you're internet savvy enough you can remain fairly invisible.
