I actually always felt my last therapist was probably rather inept in his own personal relationships. LOL! He was divorced and from what I gathered had fairly regular contentious interactions with his other family members. He was rather open and honest about that. While he was working with me, he got romantically involved with a woman (I think they may have even lived together for awhile) and eventually that broke up. I kind of assumed the common link in all of this contention was him, yet despite the occasional turmoil, he was also very close to his family so it seemed to work for them somehow, so . . . . It didn't really bother me; it was just one of his quirks. It really had no effect on my therapy, so it was just info.

Despite his own apparent relationship issues, he did good work and my own marriage greatly improved much in part to his help and guidance with our own specific communication and relationship problems. So, I guess I'm saying that even a perfectly flawed, human, therapist in his own personal life can be an outstanding therapist for his clients.
