That's precisely why I don't like male T's; some of them subscribe to the old theory that female victims of sexual abuse somehow brought it on themselves, or they "subconciously wanted it". That's exactly what a male T told a friend's sister who had been date-raped at 14, and molested by a neighbor at 7.
I also did admin. work for my aunt's group practice, and the male T's/interns in said practice were more misogynistic than the female T's/interns. One of them, a local pastor who was getting his MFCC credential, was busted for misconduct with a female client. I found the male T's/interns to be downright creepy..too sincere and "warm and fuzzy" for their own good.
In essence, the male T in question seriously needs to consider another line of work. His reasoning is descpicable. Victims of sexual abuse blame themselves enough to begin with..they don't need some hack authority figure adding to their self-hatred and guilt.
