When I joined some DS groups and got to the page where one can enter the email of doctors, friends, therapists etc to be part of your support network I went ahead and entered my therapists email. I am now second guessing that choice. How much access did i give him? Does it allow him to see my journals and posts? Is there a way to prevent him from seeing anything in here?

Yes I do realize that if he is lurking he can see this. Yes....I do get paranoid.

I have asked this question in the DS Community Group but the last post in there was a year ago so I am not expecting a response there.

If you make your account "friends only" or "private" then no one without an account that you have accepted on here can see it. I dont think entering their info on that support page gives them all access, but lets them know you are utilizing the site.

Also, any professional who would abuse such knowledge would not be the one for you to heal with anyway, absolute worste case scenerio. So you will be ok.

Ok...thanks. That makes me feel better. I think he is a good therapist. I am just going through one of my phases that i go through in therapy. I start disliking and not trusting and then stop going. I am trying to get through it. I just wanted to be sure DS is a safe place for me to vent about him. I probably should tell him how I feel but .... talking about stuff isn't a strong point.

To make the type of changes you specifically want, use the My Account function in the left had side of screen. Several options are available.

Many people join with a pretty open stance and then later decide they want more of a privacy boundary. So you are not paranoid, just in good company.
