From what you write it seems like this is much more about your own insecurities, and about standards that you imagine your T has to which you don't measure up. So maybe you could talk to her in general about that, what about FB gives you the idea that you're not meeting some criteria for a good or worthwhile person, what those criteria are and where they come from. And while I kinda think maybe you should tell her you looked up her kids, you could easily just talk about how FB etc. affect you in general without mentioning that specifically.

I know how deceptive Facebook is. I usually don't care about other people's Facebook accounts. I'm barely on Facebook as it is.
What hurts me is the fact that it's my T's kids. If those were just random people, I wouldn't care. Still even if what they're posting is just the tip of the iceberg, that tip looks pretty damn awesome.

But you're right that it's about my insecurities and thinking I have to live up to some sort of criteria of perfection and excellence to my therapist.
