Thanks for this question!

I don't know but when I first started with this therapist, I was really quiet and fragile because he was a man and I am a woman.

But as the years went on, its been 7 long hard years full of ups and downs, he has gotten to know me, and a lot of things I have questions with (the male mind) he was able to explain to me so I could see things clearly.

I don't think I would have been able to get as much knowledge from a female therapist.
