eeep! Occasionally I'll do a google search on my therapist out of curiousity. Tonight I did it a little different... I just put her last name and the city her office is in. I'm pretty sure the first result I got is a review of her husband's business, which is at an address in a residential area, which means he works out of their home, so I think I know where she lives. Pretty sure I found her son's name and where he goes to school too. It's not a very common last name.
I'm not a stalker, I swear! I have this feeling like I've done something horrible. I love my therapist the way a daughter would. With her help, I've made so much progress. I'd never do anything to cause her any harm. Now I don't know what to do... should I tell her what happened, or do I just keep quiet? She knows I know she has a son because she's taken calls from him a few times during session. She's told me about her 2 consulting jobs that she has on the days she's not in private practice. During my last major depressive episode, she started letting me call her between sessions. I started out calling her office number, which I found out forwards to her cell phone. She would call me back on from her cell phone. I had commented to her that I wouldn't use the number she called from, I'll only save her office number in my contacts. She told me it was okay to use the number she called from, that it was her cell phone that she uses for work. Usually I leave her a voice mail and she calls me back if she thinks it can't wait till our next session.
Now this is going to bother me. She knows I'm resourceful online. I told her about how I figured out why I was getting e-mails for a sorority president in GA. Based on the content of the e-mails, I figured out the school and the sorority. Then I used google search and found out that the president of this sorority has almost the same last name as me. But I don't want to damage our relationship... what have I done and what do I do about it?
