I have friends who are therapists and they don't know the stuff I tell the therapist. They don't even know I see a therapist. And they are certainly not all better than anyone else in their real lives and they do have dark sides. Why would a therapist not have a dark side or troubles. So many of them become therapists because their families/lives were/are so messed up. One friend who works as a therapist can barely find her way to her car each day - she loses everything. We have spent hours looking for keys, books, wallet etc before we could leave the house. I am often surprised she can find her way to her office and not misplace her clients.
