I just want and need my therapist to currently be in better mental health than I am and I KNOW he is and it's comforting to me.
I actually went into a helping/caring profession (social work) and decided I couldn't do it. It would not have been fair for me to try to help people when I couldn't help myself. I think therapists can be good even if they need help, but I couldn't do it.

Yes I begun and therapy college course and packed it in half way through, to much of my own stuff was leaking out. I think its fine if those in the helping professions have had difficulities and healed, but if they're practising and not healed, well, I'd rather not be their client, as much as we want to believe we can split our wounds off, I think unconsiously the are there.
