Even as a professional we use transparancy to tell our clients when there is intense feelings (like anger) going on. It's part of therapy. Just because one is in their 'professional' role does not mean one abandons all that is human.
And if you don't do it all the time - if your wife gave you good advice that made a good, positive impact - then, I don't understand the issue. I'm always pleased to come up with the answer WITH my clients (if that means sound advice from a wife/teacher/friend/plumber) then, what's it to me? As long as it's a healthy, positive thing.
