Well, I met with my therapist today and I decided to tell her that I had read her comments on some of her friends' facebook pages. I was thinking of it a lot over the past week, feeling really guilty and ashamed that I had done this. I was very scared when I told her because I thought she might tell me to leave immediately or would be scared that I was stalking or something. She did none of that! In fact, she was pretty amazing about the whole thing. She said it was pretty normal for people to be curious about their therapists and said it was brave of me to tell her. She did not realize that her facebook page was not as private as she thought. She asked me what I had learned from looking at her comments and how I felt about knowing some of that information. We talked about that for almost the whole session, I apologized to her for invading her privacy and she said she completely accepted the apology. I feel much better about it now that I've been honest with her, but still feel guilty and ashamed. I suppose I'll talk about that next time.
Thanks everyone for all your input and advice. And thanks to Geegee especially - your post really helped me come to the decision to be honest.

I appreciate hearing how it went! You have more guts than I do. I'm glad she was kind about it.

Just wanted to say that I'm glad that you were able to tell her. That must have taken a lot of courage, and I'm sure that it was a great relief that she responded so wonderfully.
