Also, I don't consider myself damaged or in need of healing. I have not met a therapist, whether as a professional to me as a client, as a friend of mine who happens to work as therapist, or as a professional I interact with in my own profession - who was better at their own life than I am - and some of them considerably worse. Therapists, in my opinion, are just as ****ed up as anyone else. I don't think anyone who isn't ****ed up even wants to become a therapist.
