It has been my experience that many therapists forget that therapy is for the patient and not the therapist.
They spend a lot of time excluding those not "appropriate" for therapy as they'd like to do it. "ideal" circumstances however, don't often come along.
I get it though. Perhaps a therapist wants to have experiences in their work in which they feel effective, where they can see a benefit.
It could be about recognizing their own limitations, a quality of life for them.
That being said, I'll look at that ideal client stuff again.
