I'm not sure I'd want to be a T but I do read books about the life of a T, and find them fascinating. The Gift of Therapy, The Making of a Therapist, and On Being a Therapist are all good, and I think I learn things about myself and the process that are helpful, along the way. My T suggested that my reading these books might be a way of "lessening the gap" and I don't know if he meant the simple human gap (i.e. I would feel closer to him by understanding his profession) or if he meant the power gap (i.e. I would know what he was doing and know his language and so that gap would shrink). Anyway, you could read some books about being a T and see if it changes your mind or cements the idea.
