My t has admitted to looking at my fb page.. and says other t’s do it as well. Doesn’t bother me, but he also isn’t bothered that I have looked at his social media pages either.

If it is public it is fair game. My fb is set on private and I don’t post often anyways. T is too busy to muck around on Facebook. He’s welcome to it but won’t find much

I just decided to see what I could find online for T1 because it is Easter, I am alone and totally bored. Geez. He has his entire wedding video on youtube and him and his wife have a blog.

I'm trying hard to keep my choice of not looking up my T, because he does use his life as a teaching tool in sessions, but you made me hyper curious now.
Also, setting your Facebook to private is not effective. Google can show you how to explore hidden Facebook pages, even deleted ones. Nothing on the net is truly private. Nothing. My favorite quote, "security is a fairy tale we tell ourselves to sleep better at night, and somebody always dies in Grimm's fairy tales."

I'm sure some therapists look up clients up on the internet/social media out of curiosity just like a lot or other people. It is technically unethical to befriend clients on social media, however. It can violate terms of confidentiality not to mention potentially cause a slew of other problems. Therapists should be tech savvy enough to know this but I'm always surprised at how clueless some are. Therapy practice Facebook pages turn me off too but a surprising amount of Ts have them.

Since my T doesn't like social media (actively dislikes it), and has no social media presence, I am going to guess she has never looked me up online. Even if that weren't true, I can not see a T wanting to look up their clients? Especially if they have busy lives. But, I am not that curious of a person of others. 99% of my FB friends are my friends because they have friended me, and not because I searched them out.
