So today in my session my T told me she has read a lot on here since I talked to her about something that happened on here a week or so ago. She figured out who is me pretty quickly, haha. It was so interesting, she asked me about a few things I wrote here and we had a great discussion about posttherapy friendships, transference etc. She laughed and said she won't spy on me of course and I really trust her that she means it. (But even if she would read my posts I wouldn't mind.) It's nothing she doesn't know anyway. But she wanted to check this board out after I had a meltdown about it with her.
So I guess some therapists do read things on here.

Would have been nicer, had she asked you- cause in reality she already did spy on you... but yeah, I think some Ts read on here- not mine though, too much to do
Thanks for this!

Oh No, I told her about this forum and some problem I had here and she decided to read a little and "stumbled" over me when she saw her therapy jar on here, haha

Wow, that is wild, and kind of cool! I could be way off, but my sense is that she wanted to find you, at least subconsciously. I mean she came to the site after hearing you did... She likes you. You know, I do wonder if my T ever reads this board and sometimes I sense that he does...

I told my Ex T about this site... I would be ok with her finding out who I am. If she did I wish she would tell me though. I do know she knows me well enough that I love Sunflowers So T if you see this it is ok that you know who I am on here and see clearly how much I have been missing you. Most of my messages have expressed that. T you have my email. Just send me a note email.

I doubt if the one I see would figure out who I am. But if she did, it is not like the content of my posts isn't stuff I have already told her.

I specifically have never told T about this board because of this. Not that I am hiding anything. I also don't think she would ever check it out but still. We talk about pretty much everything when the time is right but I want it to be on my times.

I think more T's read here than we think. One comment my therapist made was that that she got some insight into something she had been dealing with. She said it's a good resource of how clients feel about certain things. She said she has been reading the thread
" Dear T: I need to tell you something but I don't know how" and it helped her understand things.

I would be upset if I found out my T was reading here....well if he was specifically looking for my stuff. I don't tell him about it and don't think its necessary at this point. There's enough crap to deal with without adding ALL my thoughts to the mix lol

I don't believe he would purposely do that though.

I don't think, unless one told the therapist about the site, and posted pictures or something else quite a bit more personal than most do, that a therapist just reading forums at random on the internet could figure out if anyone was their client or not.

That's true. But I specifically told my T about this forum and reading here it wasn't hard for her to figure out who I was on here. And I didn't mind her reading here either, I actually think it's cool that she remembered what we talked about and took the time to check it out. And I thought it was really great that she told me about it and we talked about some things. She knows everything anyway so I am not saying anything on here that I wouldn't say to her.

I like the idea of T's reading the forum. Maybe they will learn something.

I have secretly hoped my T would try to find me. I wouldn't mind if she did. The thought of her reading it after termination comforts me.

I wouldn't care if my T read stuff on here she knows everything anyway! and she'd probably have no trouble recognizing what screen name was me if she read the "dear T" thread at all since I'm in there enough lol

My former therapist also read this forum, and she was able to pick me out. She started by eliminating certain screen names, and figured out I was GTGT. She told me she liked the name I picked for myself. We also went on the forum together to work on stuff. She had no problems with what I posted; emails, word for word, and transcribed voice recorded sessions. I was an open book when it came to therapy, but not without a lot of damaged pages.

LCM wouldn't read this site. I didn't ask her to. I told her not to/she wouldn't want to. She said she gets plenty of me telling her how I feel about her and crying that she can't be my mom in our sessions and emails and from other people I worked with who passed the information along to her.

That being said, she isn't a huge fan of PC in theory. She doesn't really understand it because having relationships with people online is something she doesn't seem to be able to grasp. I wouldn't actually really mind if she did read it though.
Thanks for this!
