I can't help but think they judge us too, just not openly. I plan to become a psychologist in future and I know that try as I might, I still will judge my clients. It's only human nature, but what sets a good T apart is how he/she handles it i.e. not allowing the judging to affect how he/she treats the client.

In my own therapy I have withheld important information (still am) because I am afraid of judgment too. It's the shame of it that prevents me from sharing. I cringe at the thought of telling someone I regard so highly all my dirty secrets. Those words could never leave my mouth even if I tried.
