Today, after breaking down in front of my therapist over some really sensitive issues, she decided to also break down. Not about my story but about her own life. I'm not being paid to comfort and console my therapist. FML

Everyone who is saying this is completely unprofessional is completely right. This should not go unreported- find the governing body which she registers with and file a formal complaint. This sounds harsh, but it needs to be done. I'm studying Psychology and plan to go into Clinical Psychology- however I have my own issues which require therapy, therefore until I'm sure I can cope with the job, I plan on staying away from professional experience, in order to heal myself and protect any patients from the harm my emotional vulnerability could cause, It's been constantly drummed into us that we need to remain impartial in order to help the client- as us breaking down or being emotionally vulnerable in front of the patient is seen as unprofessional and in some instances incompetence. TL;DR- she was unprofessional and you should find a new therapist.
