That's a good point. I bet there are lots of folks out there who are good therapists without having been in therapy. And if they're are good enough, why would a client care one way or another?
This makes me ponder where the line should be drawn. I figure there are probably some folks who are so naturally good at this that they wouldn't even need to go to school to be a good therapist. But most states don't allow people without appropriate degrees to practice therapy. And we all know that there are plenty of people who have degrees and licenses and etc. who are not good therapists.
So, how are we to decide what the minimum requirements should be? The research doesn't give us a lot of information about what types of experiences make therapists better.
