Your therapist probably gave permission for Twitter to scan their phone's or computer's contacts and it found your email. Then it recommended them to you. My phone's notification bar had an offer from Twitter to help me find more friends this way just this morning.
- the_cat_kittles 14y agoI see, this sounds very likely. It seems like this is irresponsible on the part of the therapist to essentially disclose a patient list to a third party. Do you know if there is any kind of legislation about this?
- subrat_rout 14y agoI am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. But this is very unprofessional from the therapist side. You perhaps should contact your therapist as soon as possible and let him/her know that there is a breach of trust.
