I did not consciously choose to go to a male therapist. In fact, the second on my list of people to call was a female therapist, but I liked the first one, and I stuck with him. It's been up and down, and sometimes I attribute it to gender, and sometimes I think it's just the dynamics of any two human beings. However, as I move into more traumatic material, am crying more, and have to discuss sexual matters, I wonder if a female would be better.
What do you guys think? Was it a conscious decision for you?
It could be that I am just subconsciously looking for an "out," because this work is getting very hard. It probably has nothing to do with the fact that he is man. That said, I'd drop him like a hot potato if Gardenergirl was available nearby;)
