Hi all, I'm new to the site & I just have some advice I'm needing on this... forgive me if it's in the wrong section too!

I was in therapy for about a year & a half from June 2013 to December
2014, my first therapist only was with me for 3 months because she moved to another job & I did a year with my next one but there was a limit for the one on one sessions as it was a free non-profit place in high demand so that came to an end & I moved into private practice for another few months with another one who turned out to be a really bad fit for me so now I'm taking a break before I continue my search for another one....

So anyway, my first therapist I really connected with & enjoyed before she left & it was really hard for me to lose her... my second therapist let me write her a letter when we started & sent it to her on my behalf & she really enjoyed it... but that was over a year ago & I have a desire to write her a brief update on how I'm doing now that I'm out of that place she was at with me originally, but I struggle on if I should do it or not... I had mentioned to my second T about letting me send to her when we wrapped up but that never materialized...

So, she told me where she works now before she left & I'm just wondering if it's worth the risk to look up the address to that place & do it??? It could easily be done with a few clicks of a mouse, BUT I also don't want to compromise her privacy & make it look like I'm following or stalking her... I don't know what she would think if I did that, she's a very understanding person so I'm not sure that would be the impression she would get but I also don't want to intrude too much...

I just wanted to send one update now that the therapy I was originally slated to do with her was done & let her know how it went, so maybe if I preface it by saying it's only a one time thing & that I don't expect any reply that she will be okay with it??? I don't expect any reply & am okay with her not responding, I understand why she isn't able to do so & that's fine, I just think it's important she know about a few things...

I need some thoughts, do you think it's a good idea to do this or not??? I don't want to be selfish & do something for me that ends up making her feel uncomfortable but at the same time if I make myself clear on what I'm doing & why I don't think she would have a problem with it... thoughts??? Sometimes things I think are good ideas aren't always, so it helps to hear what others think! Thanks in advance for any feedback given!
