How does your therapist deal with Anxiety?

Surely if your therapist sees anxiety as a mental disorder, then ask,  how does your therapist deal with their anxiety? Do they suffer in all the ways that you suffer anxiety? Do they push people away? Do they curl up in a ball and cry uncontrollably? Do they feel no one understands them or cares for them? Do they spend all their time with you talking about their feelings, their poor me instances, their peeves? Do they feel they should get a special pass in life? or Do they handle anxiety? Are they in control of their feelings? How do they cope with their anxiety? Surely, it would be a good idea to learn from them how they manage their feelings, like anxiety, fear & worry? Wouldn't it be a great thing if you learned how your therapist copes, copy what they do, and suddenly you would be in command of your feelings like your therapist? How cool would that be? Imagine the next time you feel anxious, rather than letting it rule you and needing to medicate how you feel, you copy what your therapist does, and you find yourself surviving that moment. What would that feel like? Wouldn't that be marvelous? You would be stronger, more confident, just like your therapist!
