Because the heart of therapy is rapport.
Your heart and the heart of the therapist come very close.
So if your therapist has failed to work through his own neurosis, he will fail to help you work through your neurosis.
Look, Gurus need followers and followers need Gurus.
It is a way of perpetually remaining a child rather than doing the hard work of growing up.
And if you fail to mature, eventually you become rancid.
