So far, I have enjoyed learning about the belief system of a therapist. The introduction was very interesting and enjoyable as it is also easy to understand. However, I have realized that there is a fine line between the personal historical experiences of an MFT and the possibility that those experiences would build a blind spot. That would affect my judgment upon becoming an MFT (Grosso, 2017) . It would mean that I would still be responsible of my actions even though I would have little to no control over the possibility that that would happen. However, I would love to do my job at its best to identify these underlying issues as they are important in solving issues and cases and helping a client recover. However, it is not very clear when you could determine that you are fully recovered from previous traumas. It is not very clear how to determine that you cannot diagnose a situation due to previous experiences. I feel that you may not quite realize when you end up judging situations under the influence of previous personal experiences. It also shows that unless the matter is vital for a court case, it may never be determined whether I have made the right diagnosis. This is because my report is taken as the last word and does not go through further determination for eligibility purposes. I also wonder whether it is undoubtedly true that a clinician is well aware of their internal reality perspective (Grosso, 2017) . I feel that it is possible that I am not even aware of what is building up inside me and that it is very possible for me to judge situations under the influence of what I may be going through even when I am unaware of what is be happening to me thinking that I can separate personal issues from the tasks at hand.
