Mine is a superstar in the therapy room, but I would not hold her to that standard in real life. In one of my early sessions, I told her that I've heard therapists are really messed up, and that's fine with me as long as she's not messed up during my sessions. She took it well and didn't disagree.

They are amazingly normal and dysfunctional to varying degrees (some more than others). The good ones know it. The bad ones blame it on the client.
