I mean if your were a therapist, hopefully these wounds wouldn't exist? It's a fantasy question. Where are the answers coming from?

Sorry to disagree but I don't think any well-trained, self-actualized T would actually describe him/herself as without "wounds". The whole nature of being human is to deal with issues and hurts that effect us and impact us on a very personal level. Woundedness is not something that just clients experience. Yes, hopefully, a T would know what his/her wounds are and be able to recognize when those personal things were impacting the clients therapy . . . . although after reading what's on this forum and other "therapy" forums, I'm not so sure there are many of those Ts out there!
Therapy in my opinion isn't about wounds being all healed up and gone, never to be heard from again. It's more about becoming aware of your wounds, recognizing when they are impinging on your life and learning ways to lessen their impact.
