If a therapist lets themselves be vulnerable, which would mean increased intimacy, that comes with needs. Need to be accepted, need to be liked, need to not be rejected, etc.
People are damaged everyday because someone else acted on their impulses. I don't understand how that can help therapy. If you know of a way this can help the therapy, i'd be interested.

For example, if the t has a cold. He complains to client #1, who sympathizes, or not. Then he complains to client #2. Already its getting ridiculous. This is why the t keeps his needs to himself, and just concentrates on the relationship he has developed with each client. To some clients, consoling or even noticing the ts cold may or may not be a priority in that clients therapeutic process. Its very Marxian - to each, according to her needs.
