i'm with alex...i think so long as u have resolved whatever brought u into therapy and are able to keep it in check so that u can conduct urself in a professional manner. or so long as ur not there simply to exorcise your own demons (i have had a couple of Ts who were a bit like that!) i think some ppl who go thru therapy go on to become Ts to help others who have similar problems which i think is a very admirable thing to do. i personally don't know if i could do that myself - i briefly considered becoming a T, and i continue to have an interest in psychology, BUT i think as i am now recovered i might find it a bit frustrating b/c they would be were i was and can;t see the way out...just too close to home for my liking...but i really do admire those who can do that!
