I'm 28/F and my T is 50/F. My last T was around the same age and also female. It works out well... except that I inevitably compare them to my mother...

Never had a male T, but mostly male psychiatrists. I don't think I could have a male T... would never feel comfortable talking about a lot of my issues. Also think I could never see someone younger than me, or even less than 10 or so years older. I'd feel too competitive with them in terms of where we are in our lives.

How do I know my T's age? She has told me vaguely "I'm almost twice your age" and her birthday/year is in her email address. I would have guessed she was considerably younger though...
