Sometimes I think it is - especially for t's who only work 4 days a week and set their own hours.

But then I think how mentally taxing it must be. A good therapist has to be "on" the entire time they are with a client - listening to what is being said, what is not being said, and taking in all the non-verbal cues. They have to determine if the client is being honest or not. And they have to constantly be aware of their own reactions to the client. I would be exhausted after one appointment.
