I search for things on various people and subjects all the time. I should be a research librarian, really - I think the job would suit me well as I love to research things!
It probably wouldn't hurt to bring *that* point up in your therapy - that you have a 'need to know' things. Because, IMO, that does play into other aspects of your life. Like when my T recommended DBT to me, I immediately went and checked the DBT books out of the library. And she expected that's what I would do. In fact, she encourages me often to research things I am curious about, b/c she knows it's in my nature. Of course, I suspect too that my current T is a lot like me in this way. She loves learning, and I love that about her.
Glad my story could help. It was a hard-learned lesson...
