I'm in a class of fifteen trainees, many older than me.
I think that there is not one who doesn't have some past 'history'....abuse as a child, mental illness, alcohol issues etc. I've seen a lot of people on here say that they are/want to train as T's. many T's and counsellors are drawn to the profession because of their own experiences in therapy.
Is it the visibility of SI that makes it worse? Or does it suggest a more extreme issue, or less ability to cope?
Thanks, this is helpful..if depressing
