i know a lot of folks who are whip smart about other people's problems and oblivious to their own...
everybody, to some extent, has this problem of blind spots. Our analysis of our own existance is clouded by our proximity to it.
to be honest, these kind of expectations are a good conversation starter with a therapist. some are smart and will offer that level of insight while knowing when to let you remain self-directed in your healing. Others may be hamhanded and clumsy, and try to fit your experience to their pre-conceptions. in my rather extensive experience with mental health providers, i've found it to be an entire crap shoot. be willing to go several first appointments before you find someone you feel comfortable working with.
