I think it is the style and orientation of the therapist, not their gender.
My therapist would die to hear you call him "logical and problem solving." *I* do that -- he goes for the emotions everytime.
It is the current battle we are having. I've disconnected, moved away from him. I'm totally in executive mode. He is gently drawing me out, asking me to cry, telling me it is OK to feel bad about all of this. He told me today he feels exiled...but he refuses to give up, even if it means dropping notes in bottle from the island.
Not logical at all. He isn't trying to solve my work problems. Don't tell him, but I'm glad I can cry with him over this and not have to have the answers. There is relief in that. But if you tell, he'll say "I told you so." (Yes, he is that kind of guy.) :)
I never connect with women like this. Mother issues I guess.
