Has anyone experienced therapy with a therapist who has a mental illness themselves, who admits this, and who tells you they are a ''mess'' emotionally. I would prefer this to a therapist who has something like (probably untreated or unacknowledged) malignant narcissism or sociopathy who denies all their ''mistakes''.. and who calls a client paranoid for being hurt by repeated mud slinging and siding with the abusive ''parents'' at times even.
