At the end of the day you need to not forget that he is a person too. He has a family, hobbies, activities, and a relatively normal life away from his office. Just like anyone he will have his own foibles too. I think placing our therapists and psychiatrists on a pedestal or looking for reasons to remove them from such is unreasonable.
Try to put what you know behind you. Realise what happens in their own life likely has no affect on your therapy. Start over with your therapist as though you were just getting to know them from the beginning and in this way build a new professional relationship.

Yes I realize that looking at his daughter’s FB page is different than looking at his and I feel a tremendous amount of guilt about it. I thought maybe confessing to him might make me feel better, but I think you are right. I will try to put it behind me. I’m just not sure I can stop. It’s sort of like when you are on a diet and say you won’t eat that cookie, but sometimes you just can’t help yourself even if you have the best of intentions. I would almost like to talk to him about why I do this, so that I can understand and stop, but obviously I can’t talk to him about it. So I’m stuck. Anyway, I’ve decided for now not to talk to him about any of this.
