A male T can offer things in a different way. I have had female mentors, and I learned a lot from them. But I never had a true father figure. So my T now is that for me. It is very open and honest transference that I need at this time. It is allowing me to trust a male to help me and not harm me or neglect me. It has been challenging, but I would not change it for the world at this time. Maybe one day I will have a female T but I could not do it for this work.
