I see this as an issue about respecting another person's reasonable boundaries.
People keep saying that--but the therapist's boundary was not to show Rainbow a picture of her husband in session (i initially said name in a prior post but meant picture). She could have done that for therapeutic reasons (I am guessing she did). I did not see anything written to the contrary. The 'theme' being she would avoid Rainbow's indirect steering the therapy to details of the therapist's personal life, which moves the therapy away from Rainbow's issues. Doing vs. discussing doing. If things are done, acted upon, it can become anti-therapeutic and pull the therapy in a new direction.

If Rainbow's therapist tries to censor Rainbow's online searching outside of the session, which I saw no evidence of here but don't know, it seems her therapist would be the one crossing boundaries by being controlling; also disrespectful of Rainbow by impinging on her autonomy.
Thanks for this!
