i have issues with both parents... but for quite a long time i very much preferred male clinicians to female clinicians. i was much more likely to experience female clinicians as judgmental and cold.
now... well, i've been doing much better with female clinicians' lately. i guess they aren't so very much 'girly girl' kinds of people, though. more cerebral than most females... all my female friends are scientists or... whatever... tend to be more straightforward and less giggly / scream-y than than the average female... have more of an eye towards truth rather than social connection at all costs when they speak english...
i think the fit is most important. to feel some sort of a genuine connection. i think you can usually tell fairly early on (after a few meetings) whether things are likely to work or not. i think that perhaps i've changed over time, too. that i could work better now with people who I couldn't work with so well before. perhaps even that i couldn't work so well now with clinicians who i worked well with before..
