you asked why would she do that? only she can answer that, maybe next time you see or talk with her you can ask her...

that said I can tell you why many of my treatment providers make sure they block their clients.... they know that its tempting for clients to search social media (Facebook twitter ect... ) and thats their private life that we as clients dont have a right too.

quite frankly I trust my therapist to tell me what they want me to know about them, and they trust me to tell them what I want them to know about me.

yea they are right it is tempting to do a facebook search of my doctors and therapists but I respect them and their wishes not to have their clients entering their private lives. thats their down time, their family time, facebook is not their work time.
Thanks for this!
