Article 1
For many psychology professionals, whether training in counselling, psychotherapy, or clinical psychology, engaging in personal therapy is not just encouraged, it’s often a formal requirement. Most training programmes stipulate that students attend regular therapy throughout the duration of their course. This isn’t just about learning from the client’s perspective (though that’s certainly part of it); it’s a vital space for developing self-awareness, processing emotional responses, and ensuring that personal material doesn’t get unconsciously projected onto clients.
