Has your therapist been to therapy?

I ran across an article in the NY times about client's feelings around their therapist's therapy. While some felt that their therapist would be able to empathize with them more having had the experience of being a client, others didn't like the thought of the person they are coming to for help may need help too. We all have work to do and I want my therapist to do their personal work. As a therapist, it is so important that I stay engaged in my own growth and unfolding- it makes me better at holding space for others.
