Yes, I suspect that is probably right.
It might just be me but I think that females tend to be less warm and more judgmental than male therapists. I suspect that I feel that way because I am female. If I were male I expect I would find the reverse. Or perhaps it has more to do with my particular interactions with my parents.
I had a female therapist who I liked a lot... But it took some time for her to start to like me, I think. She could be a little bit biting to start. Or maybe it was just her coming to terms with just how sensitive I could be about certain things. I don't know.
