I suspect T's pretty much follow the general population on the level of struggle in their own lives. I don't see that they would be particularly more or less prone to real life issues than any other group.
Two of my T's truly were very stable individuals with strong abilities to cope with life struggles. I can remember my first T admitting he almost never had problems with depression until he had to deal with the illness and death of his own son. My current T has had more difficulty in his relationships, etc. I suspect he's probably a pain in the rear to have to deal with on a personal level, but he's awesome in the therapy room.
