In answer to your question, no. I have not thought of my therapist as super human in the way of having it all together. I don't think anyone exists like that, and if they do, I don't want them as a therapist. I want one who has it together in the therapy room, and so far, mine has been great at that. It's more like her superhero power is being human while also being a good therapist and not falling apart in front of me or taking her issues out on me.
It would be very hard to see my therapist break down over personal issues, but it would not be a jarring thing to find out that she can be hurt or suffers. It would just be hard to see and would make my own therapy impossible. I have had one that liked to talk about her much worse problems, and that was bad enough.
You're not talking nonsense at all, but what you describe as not being super human is more like a therapist who isn't doing her job and needs time off.
