I don't think it means she's a hypocrite--just a regular person like us with her own issues (possibly--maybe it's just a mole removal like someone said). Obviously having her own issues makes her better relate to people with problems. Kinda' makes her more human. I know I put my current therapist on a pedastel like he's got it all figured out and his life is perfect, but he told me (three years into therapy) that he's a recovering alcoholic. Not that he went into detail, but he wanted me to realize that he's been through tough times and came out on the other end. He's always reminding me that he went through 12 years of his own therapy, as a client, before he went to grad school. Just makes him more human to me.

If it's bothering you, then ask--as a therapist, she'll know, or should know, how to answer. Most if not all therapists have supervisors who provide guidance.

Maybe it's nothing. I slipped once and got a nasty cut on my wrist and wore a huge bandage for a couple weeks--left more of a scar than my own purposeful wrist cutting.
