I usually donīt google a T or a doctor I currently see but I do google them when I donīt see them anymore or if I have more of a brief contact with them. Like with a doctor I very rarely see and whom I donīt meet for therapy.
I donīt know if itīs just curiosity or perhaps to feel theyīre also humans which makes me search for facts about them. But I find it a bit interesting to see that often they donīt have that "perfect" life one might believe when seeing them in their offices.
As Iīve seen rather many doctors, counsellors and similar during the years I know several are divorced, one of them has an adult child living with her. I can understand from historical records that some of them have lived by themselves for many years.
Another interesting thing is that I found out one, 50+ in age, has lived in a very small flat with only one room for 20+ years. Another who I thought had like a family and her own house also lives in a rather small flat and has also lived by herself for at least 10 years.
As this perhaps also in some way is connected to transference I often connect the information I find about them to thoughts about their possible sex life or lack thereof. Like with some therapists who often deal with clients relationships issues perhaps havenīt had sex themselves for many years. By that I donīt mean theyīre not able to deal with or talk with a client about sex but itīs still something I find a bit surprising.
I also think about the possible loneliness as almost all therapists, doctors and so on Iīve met with are in their 60s. Even if they have children they often donīt live at home and then they wonīt get daily hugs or comfort, at least not from someone living with them.
