I prefer a male therapist (I'm female). I get along really well with other women, but have trouble with men. My male therapist is really helping me face those issues. In some ways, it's harder to talk to him, especially about sexual issues, but my potential for growth is higher with him. One of my main issues is childhood sexual abuse and i have yet to be able to tell him exactly what happened, but I suspect I'd have trouble telling a female T as well.

Also, I know the female perspective on most things, but the male perspective can be a mystery to me. I like hearing his take on things.
