I don't believe I have ever heard of a t who doesn't have baggage or has fully sorted it out. I don't think they promote it that they have their baggage sorted out because how could that ever be through. Life is ever changing, we leave some baggage behind and when we move on we collect more along the way. Therapists are human too, they are flawed and come with baggage, to say that you have worked through yours would be a lie and how could it be measured? It's a work in process, never finished and never ending. I agree it should come with a disclaimer. They are human and they will make mistakes.
