My T has definitely talked about the fact that there are bad therapists out there. He's also talked about where he did his internship, and the good therapists there. I asked him once if anything ever happened to him, who should I see for therapy, and he listed all of the people at the place he did his internship
He's talked about his own therapist, who he obviously sees as good.
But, yeah, I know for a fact that my T believes there are great therapists, horrible therapists, and everything in between. And that sometimes it's a matter of "fit" and sometimes the therapist is just inept.
I remember really early - like in the first month - in my therapy, my T said to me "I'm a really good therapist". And I was like "WOW, this guy is soooooo conceited!" lol And he IS a really good therapist. I think about that sometimes now
