Is it hard to actually get better at therapy? Are you naturally born with the skills and emotional intelligence? I feel like that might be the case...

I haven't started yet and I'm still in undergrad but I'm wondering, is it even possible to improve as a therapist? How? Are you just born with it?

I think it sounds pretty obvious that if a therapist works on themselves, a client will have better outcomes. Is that backed by research, though?

See title. I want to do a lot of work on myself, and I hope that it will be reflected in the treatment of my future clients. Do you think that's how it works?

I'm debating between a PhD and a PsyD and an MSW. I'm wondering how much research matters in determining how good a therapist is. How much does a therapist's research abilities affect their practice?
