I am sure therapists won't like their wives to go to male therapists..:-)
For that matter, after my first T, even I would never go to a male T again - it is just too much stress, guilt, pain and suffering for what it is worth (for me!). And a closeness which cannot last - I am not built that way to handle it repeatedly. First time I went in unknowingly - I didn't even choose him, my father's friend did. And I got in deep before I realized, and after that point, the only way out was to try to work through it.
Just as we (atleast I), wouldn't be comfortable with my husband being a therapist.
It is actually living with an actor - and immensely hard to put up with so many fans - so to speak.. If I were a more mentally strong person and had good self esteem, maybe I would be ok with my husband being a T - but even then, I don't think I would be comfortable knowing that he gets into all this intimate details with every women every day.. I would think "then what have I got to offer him??"
