That's why I've always liked an older therapist as the chances of an unskilled one "surviving" life and therapy aren't all that good :-) As I think you have pointed out well, Pachy, it's not something that can necessarily be taught or that happens automatically. Most people in any given occupation are going to have to be, only average. I still remember a General Practitioner doctor I had back before specialization was the thing, who worked in her home and got a call from another patient and took it and I heard her say she had gotten a "C" in bone setting :-) It startled me to think of "doctors" not being good at all things doctorly to the same degree.
