If you've ever asked, or been told, why did your therapist become a therapist? (Or, if you're a therapist or training to be one, why did you choose that career?)

Of my three, two have said that they experienced trauma and suffering themselves and came to know the mental health system as patients/clients themselves. The other one had two psychoanalyst parents and found their work interesting - kind of like doctors' kids becoming doctors themselves.

Poll is multiple options, and yes, I am sure I have left some possibilities out. That's why there's an "other" option - please elaborate.
