I just 'fired' my current counselor because I didn't feel she was being objective. There were two items we disagreed on out of the hundred or so we discussed and she wanted to use that as an indication that I required some additional therapy to correct those two items, which landed me in a hospital inpatient stay for three days when I got agitated when she brought them up again.

My question now is does gender matter? I've had 3 or 4 and they have all been female. I didn't have any issues with any of them due to gender. The one that I fired could just have well been male. You'd think that different genders would ostensibly bring a different perspective to the same problem(s).

Just thinking out loud because I'm going out tomorrow to search for a new counselor.
