For me it isn't about self soothing at all. It's mostly about self punishment. It's not soothing to me. But I do understand what you're saying.

And everyone does suffer somehow. To suggest that a therapist can't be helpful to the suffering because they themselves haven't suffered enough is kind of judgmental as well.
