For me it’s not like I don’t want my t to express her opinion (not like she would), but just that what I do online is of no relevance to what I talk in therapy about. I think that maybe if online activities upset me or cause me problems, I’d discuss with her. But simply informing her that I am reading stuff on online forums just doesn’t seem to be of any importance.

But I imagine for some people participating on PC might cause them some disturbance. Some people come across agitated about certain topics so if participation in online forum contributes to that, then maybe taking a break isn’t a bad idea. Some people are very disturbed by Facebook or what they read online, not just PC. So taking time off has some value

So I think it depends
Thanks for this!
