As for your question, oncologists can get cancer and even die of it, but that doesn't keep them from helping patients with cancer. There's theory and knowledge and then there's failure to do what you know you should do. There are marriage counselors out there with failed marriages. Doesn't mean they're not helpful to the couples they see.

Wouldn't you say that it doesn't quite apply to this? There is a reason why LCSW's and LMFT's who work in recovery centers need to maintain at least a year of sobriety. There's such limited data in comparison to other realms of therapy when it comes to attachment trauma, I no longer want to take a chance, having learned the hard way, and dealing with someone who is currently insecurely attached. I don't think attachment issues can even be compared to something like, perhaps, standard issues involving marriage. We're dealing with neurons, brainwaves, restructuring neural pathways, trauma, stored toxic energy, reflex mannerisms that go above and beyond the regular crux of issues that most average clientele bring with them.
I'm also not talking about therapist's who have had attachment trauma and have done the work on themselves. Most have some level of attachment crap, but if they've done the work on themselves, I'm all for it. I'm talking about the 50% of therapist's that are alleged to not be suitable for attachment related trauma.
I speak very highly of Alan Robarge who has suffered with attachment trauma and healed from it. I'm undertaking his 8-week course starting today.
