In reply to Opposite gender therapists a bad idea?, posted by Eddie Sylvano on November 26, 2003, at 9:08:00
I was totally in love with my male therapist, but I could never quite figure it out. I didn't/couldn't fantasize about him because it felt too taboo and not what it was all about. It was more about being drawn in by how warm and kind he was til he screwed up badly and it was over. Now I see a woman, no chance of falling in love there, but she is really a cold fish. Much sharper than he was, but not a warm person. Which somehow is a relief to me, since I don't get attached, but also makes me wish that warmth was there.
In general I think their personality and how comfortable and safe and accepted you feel is what matters most.
