I don't know, I'm not sure I agree. For one, we don't know our therapists' own darkest side, and I have a feeling a lot of times they empathize with and relate to us a lot more than we will ever know.

Being trained professionals, they understand that really bad things go on in peoples' lives that do not make the individuals themselves bad or repulsive. No one can say for sure what is going on in t's minds of course, but I believe in general it really is about ethics and safety.
