Good article about our T's on social media.
When psychiatrists are on Facebook, their patients can get a case of TMI - The Washington Post

The part I found most remarkable was the the writer referred to the therapist as dr. And themselves as a patient.

Well a psychiatrist is a doctor and if you are under a care of a doctor then you are a patient. My T is not a doctor so I refer myself as his client not his patient.

If the doctor is irresponsible, the patient gets a case of TMI.

Just found it interesting. I am not on facebook and don't care about the therapist. I don't really think there needs to be any rules established about what they post or how they post. I personally would believe most people simply should not use facebook because it seems to cause so much distress in general - but if a therapist or md or anyone else wants to plaster info about themselves on such a site - have at it. Any one (a client) who hires a therapist does have some responsibility, in my opinion, to realize and regulate, how finding out personal info about others (the therapist) can cause a change in perspective about the therapist and if the client cannot handle such, stay off or don't search.

From what I've learned, psychiatrists, therapists, teachers, lawyers - anyone who deals with the public in a professional manner - are advised to have very private profiles on social media. They should allow the public to see what they are ok with sharing. T's with loose boundaries seem to have difficulty in this area (I've come across teachers who do too). My daughter's kindergarten teacher got fired for something she posted publicly on facebook about a student. Yes it was stupid, but she was older and not well versed in social media - meaning she probably didn't know everyone could see what she posted. Still, if she didn't have many of her student's parents as "friends", it might not have been an issue.
I think the biggest issues are personal safety and/or conflict of interest. When I become a T, I'll stay away from facebook or other social media unless it is a page for clients. |

Life is life. Therapy is part of life, social media is part of life. We're not separate beings. So one's therapist puts their pants on one leg at a time, so what? Those with a problem with social media know they have a problem but instead of doing anything about it, staying off social media or whatever, they blame the gun instead of themselves. Yesterday I ate four doughnuts at once, blowing my diet. That's me, not the doughnuts fault. If I don't have enough willpower to only eat one doughnut like I planned, then I need to not buy doughnuts or something (this morning I chose to throw out the remaining doughnuts). Like my stepmother observed about my alcoholic brother, "Nobody is holding a gun to his head making him walk down the street the liquor store is on!".

Facebook, for some people, is a walking disaster.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
