I think I would ask her if she has to see her own T to process the traumatic/depressing issues/triggers she hears about from her clients. Let's face it, some of it is pretty deep.

I think most therapists do! My best friend is a psychologist and she has always had her own therapist too. She says it's common for therapists (even the norm) and she can even list it as a business expense.

Before I ever met my therapist, I looked up his name on the Internet to see if anyone had written anything about him. I didn't find any real information except his name on a conference roster where he was quoted as saying that all students preparing to be therapists needed to be in therapy themselves.

(After I actually met him, I felt weird that I'd looked him up on the Internet. But all I had was a name and wanted more info.)
