He is obviously insecure and dogmatic, plus have low professional quality standards (relative to mine at least) - these come across boldly from the media. But even if he wasn't, I would never do it as a professional whose work involves maintaining a good professional structure and discipline and I don't think it is good marketing strategy either. Plus, I definitely don't think it is good for prospective, current or past clients who tend to have a lot of preoccupation with their T. It did help me to see a more complete picture of him and to move on though, meaning that it did not help him to keep a client like me who wants professionals to be... professional

Interesting perspective, I always wondered how much online presence there should be and what the consequences would be for prospective clients. I have a colleague who set up a website recently. She shared a lot about her own struggle with depression. I was conflicted about it. In one sense I admired her congruence but on the other I wondered what impact knowing that would have on her clients. For me as a client I would be looking for signs of a relapse in her and I would be minding her by trying not to upset her.
