Telling T I googled him...EEK!!

Oh my! I actually told him.

I led in to it with a discussion about my thoughts around attachment and that I noticed that I have become quite curious about him in the last few weeks, and wondered if that was indicative of the therapeutic relationship becoming better. Finally after a year.

Then I said, knowing that I trust you more now I trust I can tell you something without judging me too much? Of course he said. I told him he better sit down then, as he was opening a window for me and he looked at me with mock fear.

He took it really well and said he understood. He also looked a little surprised and said "I didn't know I WAS google-able now". LOL. I told him to have a go himself. Of course we had to have a discussion about why I felt the need to and why now, and what I found and what it meant........siiiiiiiiigh. But I just had to do it as I was feeling so guilty.

I can say that it was a really rewarding experience to be able to be that open about something that I was embarrassed, a little ashamed and guilty about. (Although I didn't tell him exactly EVERYTHING I found).

Thank you to those of you that thought I ought to tell him.... it helped me

He sounds like a very good T, with a sense of humor. Just the way you described him here reminds me of my old T. I miss him.

He is really very nice and a good T. For me to say this is huge!

He also told me.....instead of looking, why don't you just ask me? Eek! We'll try that next time ok? hahaha

That's great, this new t self discloses but only parts that we have in common therapeutically like art and music, and scary movies, gray areas in her life ect...
