They also need to be willing to go on a bit of a journey with the client, which will involve feelings being raised for them too. They need to have the capacity to tolerate that, and also not to lose their own grounding. It's hard. I'm also very lucky in that respect.

Yes, this seems exactly right to me too. I just don't know how one would find it in the first place. I didn't have a sense of what any of this meant until several years into working with my T, when we finally got to this depth/type of work. I'm actually getting pretty good at seeing this kind of person in my life now too (I can predict reasonably accurately who is going to say "me too!" when I mention being in therapy), but I wouldn't have been able to identify it before I started this kind of therapy with this kind of therapist. So how does somebody know how to find it in the first place?
