Hell yes I'd want a t who has been in therapy.
Mine has, and I am sure it's been an important part of being a therapist for him. Flawed comparisons aside, I wouldn't want a driving instructor who has never driven, a teacher who has never been a student, a lifeguard who never learned to swim, a member of the clergy who never grappled with questions of existence and meaning etc. I could go on. ;-)
Therapy, is after all, an art and a science. There is no way to learn an art but by doing
Honestly, it concerns me, the idea that therapy is for "other people", especially from people who would espouse it's usefulness.
