yeah, i'm sure other clients have googled her too. most people do this. but, she obviously has boundaries and doesn't feel comfortable sharing personal information with you. she probably felt creeped out by it and possibly "betrayed" by you, even though it's technically her fault for making everything public. (you also have to understand that older generations, 40 yrs old and up, tend to be very poor with technology and probably don't even realize when they make things public on facebook. so, if she's in that age group, it was possibly a mistake or a misunderstanding of the technology.)

i'm not defending her btw. i'm just trying to explain why she got mad. i think the anger she displayed is mostly frustration at her mistake... but like i said, she's probably also disappointed in you. i mean, how would you feel if i looked up your name on whitepages.com and said, "hi Billy Bob. i found out that you live on ABC street in Redondo Beach, California and your phone number is 123-4567. i saw that your mom's name is Jane Bob. i looked her up on facebook and found out that your parents are getting divorced. oh and i didn't know your mom's favorite food is pizza. it's mine too!" you'd be like "WTF?"

i'm not hating on you. i'm just trying to put things in perspective. telling someone you looked up personal information about them will make them feel creeped out, even though i'm pretty sure 99% of us do this already. (it's just a social no-no.)

anyway, if i were you, i would find a new therapist. my current therapist freely shares his personal information with me. he's pretty cool. he's also 33, so he's fairly young.

best of luck
