I didn't google: "therapist name" baby registry personal stuff
I googled: "therapist name" - which usually takes me to therapist website
This time, under therapist website on list, there was baby registry...
I don't get easily upset by random personal information. I had no way of knowing that when I googled name this would come up. I have searched for info. on him in the past, and found stuff that didn't upset me quite this much (though, I admit, it wasn't healthy.)
In this case, I think it was just as much of "stumbling upon" something as it gets in terms of the digital universe...

I have no idea if the OP knows she gets easily upset by things or not; I don't know if the OP is dealing with transference issues that might be easily stirred up by new information about her T. But it that is a possibility, staying away from digging up new information that might set that kind of upset off would just be good self care.
Sometimes just because we can do something doesn't mean it is the best thing for us to do personally. Some people can look at information about their T all day and not be at all phased by it. Others may need to think ahead before they leap. My guess is the therapist is more concerned about the effect this had on the OP than on his privacy.
