Any therapist should have their own therapy. This is how it started, this is how it should be. They should be able to process their own "junk" before they try to help others.
Some Psychiatrists do therapy. This is also how it started, and how it should be.
IMO
My questions are, when and why did we separate these things? Prescribe meds without actually working with the patient? This seems ridiculous. Be in the role of a therapist without attending to your own problems, and continually doing so? Equally ridiculous.
