Does this mean that you will be having therapy on a regular basis with both a man and a woman? I have always assumed that, regardless of the gender of the therapist we see, we develop transferences based on our own unresolved problems; for example, my present T (male) sometimes appears to be my mother, emotionally, and at other times he feels more like my father. Are you finding that you have a mother transference towards your female therapist, and that you have sought out (and found) a male with whom to work on father issues? I guess it's a given that you will have every sort of feeling for him if you begin seeing him regularly. I hope he is prepared to allow you to explore your past fully, and that he is experienced with trauma issues.
I did see that recomendation. I think that is the kind of treatment most of us here are having. I know I am. My T has said expressly that he expects that I will go over and over various traumas until I don't need to any more.
