My T never really shared much of anything about herself, and she still hasn't.

But in the last few months she's shared a bit about her training becoming a therapist as she knows I'm going through that process at the moment.

She said things like everyone who studies and works in this field, consciously or unconsciously all have certain things in their life they struggled with, and they chose this field because they also wanted to work on themselves. And she's right, a lot of my peers have had their share of struggle, and my interest in this subject did at first arise from wanting to know more about what is going on with me.

Anyway it makes me wonder what it is that she's been through that led her to become a professional in this field. She always said that 'you can only take a patient as far as you have gone within yourself', and she said that she was required to have three times weekly therapy for years as part of her training requirement.

I know it's not my business to ask or know but I do wonder what it is that she's gone through.
