I think it makes a lot of sense to me. My old prof. who is a practicing T said that when he was going through his divorce, he didn't take on any cases for 2 years that had to do with divorce because he felt he couldn't be objective on either side.

All T's has some weak area because of their past lives, make them less effective in those areas. Sometimes it make them understand more, but only if those issues are worked out and put to rest.

I don't see having an active eating disorder would be a good thing for working with clients of the same disorder, unless they have been treated and have worked through it. But that is just what I think.

I think one of the worst thing a T can do is not take care of their own issues (all T's have them) BEFORE they begin practicing.
