I've been seeing my therapist weekly, and sometimes twice a week for about 3 years. Yesterday I got a friend request from him on Facebook. This isn't a page or profile for his practice, it's his personal profile.

Is this ok or appropriate? Or is this a serious boundary issue?

I've tried googling the issue, and it seems like the little information online about it, strongly frowns upon this. My therapist is really accessible to his clients- he allows clients to text, call, or email if needed between sessions, so I don't know if this is another way he connects with his clients...it's never come up.

I haven't accepted yet...not really sure what to do.
