A “good therapist” encourages a misconception: the thought that there is such a thing as untainted good therapist, a development excused of any problems or issues. In the same way that a healthy marriage is not one without dilemmas, but relatively one that works through problems – so is good therapy. No therapist is perfect and no therapy can be offered perfectly, no matter how ultimate a therapy may be in theory. Even those therapists, who do the best they can to be aware of their inner world and familiar to the healing process, have aspects they are unaware of, pieces of themselves unhealed, and mistakes they make. Good therapy is the sum of all the experiences, internal and external, occurring as a result of the imperfect treatment process; and it directs toward self-awareness, growth, and the discharge of extreme feelings and beliefs. And what a blessing it is that even the best therapy can be lined with areas of unawareness, mistakes, challenges to the therapeutic relationship, and yet still turns out good…like a marriage... Think of the wonderful repairs you and your life partner may have created, the main dilemmas you’ve worked out with friends, and perhaps the repairs you’ve made in therapy with the people you work with.
