I think we actually agree on most things ;-)
Though what seems to be closest to your heart is that therapists should have gone through therapy for a long period themselves. I agree with that, of different reasons than you, but I still agree.It is a subject that it very much discussed in recent psychology though, and some lines of therapy requires it (if you want to become a psychoanalyst for example, it is require dthat you go through several years of psychoanalysis yourself first). What I was reacting on was mor ethat I felt you were critizising me for something I didn't say, but I understand that you understood me different than planned. I am sorry about that :-)
I don't nesessarily agree that all neurosis is coming in the way of therapy though, and I doubt that persons which has never had a single problem in their whole life could actually become a good therapist. But that is my personal opinion, and I don't ahvea problem understanding that you disagree with that. I don't think that a neurosis should be labeled defensive in all situations either, but I find it a bit too perfectionistic to argue with you on that point, I'd rather accept that we have different opinions on certain areas.
I am happy you have found a therapist that is good for you though. I see that many people is not so lucky, I'm sad to say. Good luck for you :-)
