Anyone ever try to add T on social media?

Whether it was an accident (one time I almost accidentally clicked "follow" on T's instagram and I almost had a panic attack) or purposefully, have you ever tried/failed/succeeded to add T on social media?

No I have never tried nor have any interest.. I wouldn't want her to read into my posts or whatever.

I've accidentally sent her an invite on LinkedIn. I freaked out.

I do follow her instagram though, while keeping mine private.

My t invited me to join her personal facebook page and she sees mine as well. We also follow each other on twitter.we like to share funny stories, stuff about cats, and recipies.

My t says she doesn't have any social media accounts. I call bull crap. When I first started seeing her, I looked her up on Facebook and found her, she just altered her first name. I haven't looked her up since and don't have the desire to add her either. But I would have freaked out if I accidentally tried to add her! I'm sure they are used to it though

my T doesnt like facebook. the business he is building with his therapy practice has one, but his wife is the one posting to it. i follow that page. i havent sent my T a friend request but his personal page shows up sometimes since we have a few mutual friends on fb.

In the consent form that she originally gave me, it actually says that she will not befriend clients on social media. So I would never try.

Yeah, so does No. 1's consent form. Of course, as she blithely said once, "Oh, who cares what that says?" So I dunno.

Fortunately, I have no desire to have connections with her outside of session. I assume she has Facebook and LinkedIn accounts, since she mentions those on the form. No idea about No. 2.

I accidentally sent a LinkedIn connect request to my therapist because I clicked on one of their very irritating solicitations that emails everyone in your address book an invite. Urgh. I subsequently told her to please disregard and advised her what happened.

She does mention things on her Facebook page to me occasionally (oh, such and such is on my Facebook), so perhaps she thinks I can view it? She has it restricted somewhat but I've looked at the photos on occasion (and told her.) She did invite me to view a blog she writes, though it's defunct now.

I have found my T on Facebook and its private so I can only see her profile picture. I have attachment and transference so it would literally kill me to see her talk about her kids or see pictures of her with them. I don't think she would add me anyways.

I followed my Ex T on twitter and he followed me back. We've never messaged or anything though.

My therapist followed me on Twitter so I followed him back. I'm ok with it, since the whole point of Twitter is to broadcast public statements to anyone who might care to read them. I intentionally avoid looking him up on Facebook because I don't want to see anything about his personal life, though. I think that would stress me out.

T sent me an invite to Linkedin. So I do have her on there. Since I work in the mental health field I doubt anybody would even question us being linked.

As far as I know both my T and pdoc only have Facebook and LinkedIn. Their Facebook is private. I've never send either of them a friend request. I don't think they would accept. They never said anything about it, but I think most therapist or psychiatrist wouldn't be Facebook friends with their clients.
I would want to be Facebookfriends with them, but I don't think it would be good for me, at least not while I'm stil in therapy with them.
And I don't want to risk a rejection, so I would probably never try to send them a request.

My ex T. only had Facebook and it was private and I knew she wouldn't accept plus the transference would make it difficult. I found new T. through a friend and before seeing her one of us friended each other because she posts daily devotional types of things that I wanted to see. Once she became my T., I asked her about us being FB friends. She said she's friends with most of her clients because she likes to see what's going on in their lives. However, she limits personal things she posts on her page - it's mainly geared towards the daily meditations. It is such a different relationship and no transference yet that it doesn't bother me at all.

Yes we are FB friends and connected thru LinkedIn. There were lots of conversations before, and after becoming FB friends. Sometimes I think it has helped, other times not so sure.

Nope. T has a LinkedIn account, but I haven't found him on any other social media sites.

I don't have Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and such, so no.

I hate social media, other than this site and LinkedIn. I have enough trouble with real life and staying sane, and if I had a FB account, I would probably just die from not eating/ sleeping and staying on it 24/7. So no. I've Googled her and FB came up but other than trying to establish she was "safe" and someone I could relate to, I'm not interested. Need therapy too much, so it has to be different than my other relationships.

She actually asked me if I had instagram or Facebook but never said anything about following. I sort of wish she followed me at least on IG to see what I do outside of sessions and to see I'm not really that shy girl she thinks I am :P

The reason I wouldn't want her on Facebook is the reason you're does. I tell her everything and more. However I would feel like she was checking up on me. Also I wouldn't want her to have an opinion on my mood based upon what I post. I.doubt she would anyway as she knows I am the queen of putting on a happy face..but it would always be in the back of my mind.

I look up previous T's facebook from time to time because, well, I still like to look at her face Hell, I allow myself that indulgence. I am super careful not to hit the friend button though. I would be soooo embarrassed...
I know T's Facebook pseudonym because he replied to something she posted publicly once. I haven't the same desire to look at his page as I do hers though.
