I like my pdocs between the ages of 40 and 70, they are still very sharp, lively, and fully connected with their emotions(I feel after 70 people begin to grow a bit numb), while also having plenty of valuable experience. Someone who is very alive and still has a large capacity for empathy and compassion is just too important for me when seeing a therapist. I just think a therapist in their 70s and 80s is less likely to still have everything they once had. The reality is, the brain ages as we age, and with this, we also begin to lose certain emotional components that were once much stronger. JMHO.
