I was discussing this with my t just last week. First thing I told her was that I changed my mind about becoming a t because I am not happy enough and don't have enough hope, she laughed and said if only that was the only requirement. She said that a therapists job is not to have hope or to save but to be able to sit with another human being through their suffering and go the whole way with them until they are able to walk alone again. She said it's about understanding another's pain. So personally I don't think a t has to have hope and it would be unethical of them to promise something they can't keep or know for sure.
