I have no reason to think that my therapist has faced the same things I do. And I definitely would not want him to tell me what he did, if he had. T is no different from any other person in this respect. I have no problem understanding that the way I do things is generally wrong, but I don't particularly appreciate people shaming me (however unintentionally) by letting me know that they are so much better at life. I can't imagine my T doing that and I am grateful for it.

Like others have said, I am not in therapy to get advice. I trust my T and am sure his advice would be good, but it's not what he's paid for.
