> Does anyone prefer one over the other? For what reasons? I've had both and come to realize that the men never gave me any credit for going through this difficult journey. My current female therapist was very supportive about my struggles, which made me feel good about myself for the first time in years!

> Anyway, anyone have anything else to say?You raise an issue that I too am pondering. I've
been working with a male counselor for a while and we are winding down I
think cause we've gone thru the "whole 9 yards". I was
thinking of maybe seeking a female to see what kind
of perspective it would bring. I tend to be able to
talk to females better about things, don't know why.
I'm considering trying one. The observations that
the others have made are excellent. I'm not a very
assertive person, so I don't know what I need.thx
