Dear noname:

I want to edit my previous post to you, to add that a therapist, to not be a fraud, does need to have a better mental health than his/ her clients and to be committed to further personal healing, so that the therapist can teach guide the client from his/ her own personal experience of real-life healing. A therapist does not have to be healed/ to be perfectly healthy (no such thing, I believe), but to be in the process of healing and committed to the process.
