I doubt you will be the only one training in this position. I have been in training for a different type of therapy and it was scary how many people fell apart at the start. We had no requirement to see a therapist, but it is the ones of us who have that are making a success of things. My t once said she often finds she does some of her best work when she is having her own problems. She said the important thing is to recognise your own problems and admit them to yourself and get help through therapy and supervision. When we were talking about how this could be she talked about maybe subconsciously you are giving out the message that it is ok to hurt you can get through it. Not sure how I feel about this but have acknowledged some truth in it as long as our problems never impose on the client. As others have said it is better to have a t that knows what some of these things feel like.
