I've googled my therapist several times. He knows it and isn't upset at all by it. He says it's natural for clients to want to feel close to their therapists between sessions. And that googling isn't any different than any other public information.
I keep hoping someday I'll come up with a photo. :)
But if you discussed this with your therapist and promised not to do it, I can see why you're upset. Did he ask you not to? Or were you just overcome with guilt and offered? It's not a horrible thing by any means. But if it makes you feel uncomfortable, can you ask him for some transitional object that you can touch base with between sessions? My therapist made me a relaxation tape, plus I've made a tape of several of the messages he's left on my machine.
