@Omer: According to the therapist, she said that because she was trying to expand my view because I was focused on the bad.

Help me understand why Googling my last name to find out where I'm from is not the same as Googling my full name. The therapist insists that she didn't Google something specific about me and that if she came across something specific to me on the Internet, she would close the browser.

I'm not understanding her logic. My last name IS something specific about me. Moreover, her intention look it up was because she wanted to know where I am from - something specific about me. Whether she looked up my full name or only my last name, she was looked me up to find out personal information about me.

Why didn't she just ask me directly? She knew that I wasn't ready to disclose that information to her. Pure curiosity is not a reason to look it up. As a therapist, she should wait, be patient, and hold it until trust, safety, and connection are built in our relationship and work and I eventually, naturally share it with her.
