I feel like that makes them more empathetic and able to understand their clients if they've also been there. But agreed that they need to have worked through their own issues and be stable enough to deal with clients and their issues. I know my marriage counselor has been through quite a bit of therapy, as he's talked about it on occasion. Though he has said that he wouldn't be able to work with clients who remind him of his dad (who I think may have been an alcoholic, from some stuff he's said). Still, that shows some self-awareness, I think.
Thanks for this!
