I haven't been in an abuse situation, but suffered from major depression, which was the first time I saw a psychologist. I continued to see her after I landed up in hospital with an OD, and a while after that. She has been my only therapist, and I think i'd personally feel more comfortable with a female.
They seem more empathetic (Sorry to stereotype) and I feel they can understand emotions a whole lot better as they have experienced them first-hand
Thanks for this!
