Something like that has never stopped me from saying things.

I'm not sure how I would feel about a therapist who had all the trappings of a so called good life. I would focus too much on the "trap" part of having it all.

I have a good friend who, on the face of it, has it all--rare success in a creative field where only 1% earn a living at it, husband since high school, kids, grands, two homes, travel, huge awards...it goes on. I am fascinated by how squeaky clean she is, how her strongest foul word is darn. And yet, she has also had a lot of struggles with her health and family, so I don't actually think she has a perfect life but I am drawn to the perfectness of it. It gives me a strange comfort in a way. I couldn't have someone like that as a therapist, but for me there is comfort in that kind of life when viewed from the outside.
