So I was in a facebook support group. I started talking to someone through the support group. We had a huge disagreement she blocked me on Facebook I kinda overeacted I felt rejected and to say In the least I acted stupid.
Here's the weird part. This person happens to see the same therapist as me and I didn't know it intill after the fact. If this other person says anything about what happen on Facebook can my therapist terminate me. This other person said I harassed them. Like I'm scared my therapist is going to think I was bothering her other client on purpose. That wasn't the case at all. I did not find out this person I had the disagreement with was seeing the same therapist intill after the fact. I don't know advice would be appreciated. |

When is your next session? If you just bring it up and be like, "I was in this support group over Facebook and I got into a disagreement with another person. I acted like an idiot out of anger and come to find out after that this person is also a client of yours. I just wanted to double check am make sure that my poor choices with X won't affect our relationship."
Or don't bring it up unless your T does. It's unlikely she would because she can't legally even tell you X is her client so how could she even bring it up? I'd tackle it head on personally so I wouldn't be wondering and worrying about it. |

Wow, what a small world! I'm sure your T can't terminate you.... it's all hearsay, whatever it is.

Really, your T can't even confirm or deny to either one of you that the other is even a client without a written release. You're free to talk about it as much as you like, and I think it would be highly unlikely for your T to terminate over this. People get angry and blow up on the internet all the time.

Your T would not terminate you over this and u wouldn't even bring it up, at least not out of fear. A T can't discuss clients with other clients, so if this Facebook person actually brings if ip and names you, your T will probably try to stop the conversation or at least tell this person not to use names.

If the T did find out about their reaction would probably be to want to, indirectly if you didn't bring it up, try to find out where it came from, is it part of a pattern, therapy stuff.

While anything is possible and there are many unprofessional therapists out there, technically this shouldn't happen with a decent therapist. First of all, that person's therapy is confidential, so even if they talk and the therapist realizez it was you, your therapist cannot bring it up. On the other hand, a therapist needs to be able to contain conflicts like this. It's not even as if you were related to this person, it's a one time thing. There isn't even a conflict of interests, though I understand how this may feel uncomfortable. I highly doubt that your therapist will terminate your therapy just because you got into a disagreement with some other client.

No, your T shouldn't terminate you for that. If you feel that the FB incident created some conflict of interest, you can talk about it with your T, and if you feel your T won't be as loyal to you anymore, then you have a choice of finding a new T. But your T cannot ethically terminate you because of what happened on FB. This situation doesn't create a conflict of interests provided that you don't have a relationship with that other person on FB other than being a part of the same support group.

What I meant is that I could easily see a therapist not mentioning that but finding an opening and bringing the topic to how the OP handles conflict in general. Not a good or bad thing, and if they don't want to talk about that they could just redirect, but it does seem to be a T thing.
