Ahhhhhh, perhaps that's where we view this whole thing differently! Personally, I don't think someone could function as a skilled therapist if she believed that once she "finished" her "training" that she's be an effective and all-knowing therapist without wounds or issues that might get in the way of her work. I think learning and gaining of knowledge and skill in all professions is an on-going and lifelong chore. I think most Ts would honestly say that they still make mistakes and "screw up". . . . at least I believe that the really good ones are willing to admit to and recognize that they aren't Gods. It's the arrogant and ignorant ones who state that they have never made a mistake and it's the client's fault if things go bad. But then, I don't tend to put Ts on pedestals. . . even if she pops out of the head of Zeus!
