I don't know for sure but I'm assuming my therapist has had therapy for something it's usually a requirement when they're in school but quite frankly I wouldn't want a therapist to have had the same problems I do. Number one because my issues could trigger them and cause countertransference and that could end the therapy if they feel that they can't handle my issues any longer. Also, he's a man so its very doubtful that he's had the same abuse issues that I've had. I also don't think I would want to see a therapist that has DID. So at this point I'm just glad that my therapist specializes in all the things that I need. I have a great one and I'm very happy with that.
