I'm not sure I'd want to see a therapist who had never had therapy. Everyone has problems. Well, at any rate, I'm not sure I'd want someone who thought they never had problems or had never needed an objective observer. Or never engaged in the sort of introspection that comes from therapy.

Those who are going to be mucking about in the psyches of others ought to have a pretty good understanding of their own. Know their own vulnerabilities.

And to be honest, I'd wonder why people who are entering the field think that you have to be really screwed up to seek therapy. It implies a certain amount of superiority over their prospective clients.
