Pathology, unfortunately, may be an issue. As I understand criteria
from national bodies, counselors are supposed to possess the kind of
emotional stability that their clients presumably lack. Our
experience with masters level counseling applicants (and
occasionally students) is that indeed there may be
some underlying emotional and/or psychological problems present in
some of them.
We used to joke in graduate school (based purely on anectdotal observation)
that about 50% of the students were there to help others and 50% were there
because they needed help.
