[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be aware that anyone can become a therapist. Anyone.  The training and supervision for many therapists comes from other therapists who charge them  for thousands of hours  to reach certification. It's a money making business, for sure, and the supervision part is very lucrative.  I know many therapists in the field that I am in- family therapists, relationship therapists,  or children's therapists who actually don't have, and never had families of their own and have trouble staying in a relationship themselves.  But they love being the  judge in things they are insecure about to begin with, and are often quite unstable.

So,  there's that.  
And, all, I mean all mothers end up being labeled narcissists. It's a buzz word now, among other therapy speak adages.

You need at least a master’s degree to become any kind of “therapist.” And nice jab at childfree folks. Wait until you find out that your child encounters childfree teachers, professors and doctors throughout their life.[/quote]

You can have a master's degree, sure, but then you can be a therapist  just by being supervised by someone you are paying to supervise you ....conflict of interest  maybe.

And the point is one can truly suck at it, but there's really no oversight unless it's criminal or unethical. I could tell you stories that would frighten everyone.

Teachers don't need to have children to teach. That is curriculum 
and pedagogy.  Doctors don't need to have cancer to treat cancer. It's called science.  But a therapist who counsels families, marriages, and raising children who they themselves  don't have any experience with said disciplines,  nope, especially if they struggle with relationships themselves. And as a cliebt, would I know that? Do you think priests should give marital advice? No.

I would never take advice on parent child relationships from someone who isn't already a parent. If I wanted that, all I'd have to do is go out for a drink with my childfree  friends because they know everything!
