Are you friends on facebook with your T?

My now ex-T and I are friends on Facebook. We became ‘friends’ during my time with her. At the time I thought it was awesome but in hindsight it is just one of many red flags with her.

Oddly I have yet to unfriend her although I have turned off her feed so I have to actively go look at her page to see updates.

I guess curiosity, and abandonment issues still win out.

My T and I are not Facebook friends, and we never will be. She keeps her personal life separate from her work life, and I respect her for that. I also think being Facebook friends might make my feelings about her even more complicated, so I think the separation benefits us both.

No. My T is just that, my T. I have no need or desire to be 'besties' with my T.

I hardly know half the people on my Facebook, FB friends surely does not mean besties. In fact some people I know add complete strangers on there

What I am saying is that I am not attached to my T. I don't need to have them involved in any other aspect of my life other than that they are my mental medical health provider.

I get that. I was just merely pointing out that Facebook doesn't mean you have to be actual friends with someone... that's why it's a silly rule to me, I mean for AFTER therapy, like OP's situation

and sure it's not for everyone, that's fine but clearly OP was wanting it.

I don't personally know all of my FB friends either, but I do know my T. I see her. I do know her. I don't feel that I need her as my FB friend.

No and I would feel weird to send him a friend request. I do feel emotionally attached to him, however, I respect his boundaries and wouldn't want to infringe on his personal life/privacy.

No I wouldn't want her as a FB friend. I think because I prefer what I've got with her irl during session.
FB turns me off of people.

Lol only!
I’d be FB friends with a therapist if I was also FB friends with my trash collector. They both have the same jobs. I put crap out & pay them to take care of it for me.
(I’m not on FB obviously) lol!

No, not at all. My therapist keeps her private life private, and then throws it in my face that I know nothing when she thinks I make assumptions about her.

No. But we have a lot of mutual friends for some reason.

There is no way mine would accept my friend request.
