My best friend IRL is a therapist, and she has always been in therapy herself (from the time she was a teenager). I actually thought it was the norm for therapists rather than unusual. She says she can even write it off as a business expense since it helps her with her profession (she's been a practicing therapist for at least ten years now). My own therapist counsels those seeking to become T's to get (or stay) in therapy themselves because the experience will help them be better therapists. I don't think it's unusual. I definitely would have no problem with my T being in therapy.

Oh and I think my friend decided to become a T because of how valuable her own experience (as a teenager in therapy) was to her life.
