Im worried found my old therapist on Facebook and I really want to talk to them but what if they don't want to talk to me? They haven't responded to my friend request and i know it has only been a day but still i worry this will be the same experience i had with a therapist a long time ago who i called after ending with her and she said she couldn't legally talk to me since i wasn't her client anymore .

What makes you want to reconnect with your therapist now after not being in therapy with them? They may feel a moral or legal obligation not to have a personal relationship with you and they do not have a professional relationship. Have you considered how hard it is for them when they can lose their license to practice over this?

Perhaps it would be best to straight out ask them - at least you would know where you stand.

There are different therapeutic structures. Not all therapists have to abide by the same rules. For example, my husband and I have received therapy through the veteran's admin & there are certain functions at which we run into former therapists. It's perfectly okay, within the military 'family'.

passionfruit, perhaps sending your former therapist a message would be appropriate. If she doesn't respond, or if she explains that she cannot ethically communicate with you, don't take it personally because it's not about you - it's about her job.

Its been a few days since i posted still no response frustrating ive thought about messaging her but i learned now that may not work. A friend of mine told me that on Facebook if you message someone and your not there friend it goes into there other folder which is basically like there spam folder they can only read it if they open that folder.it wont pop up in their messages. Which is why ive been hesitant to message. I might have to though. Thank you for most of the comments you guys mostly helpful
