I have a male T, and he is a DBT therapist because I have BPD, or some kind of form of it anyway. There are actually three DBT T's in the program that I am going through. Two are female, and one is male (my T). My T told me that any time he is unavailable, I could talk to or even see the other two T's. One of them is a leader for a group I go to, so I know her pretty well, and I've at least met the other female T. My problem is that I have been molested when I was 10 years old. It was a one time thing, but I recently started remembering it, and I feel like it has just happened to me all over again. I need to process this, but lately I have been thinking about if it mattered if I see my male T or if it would be more beneficial to see a female T, like my group leader. It is a very personal matter that I've only revealed the fact that "something" happened, and have not gone into details yet. I would like some input on whether or not you guys think it would be different or beneficial to talk to a female T about this instead of my male T... or if it would even make a difference? I am not sure how i feel talking to *anyone* about it, let alone a male. So, one option would be to talk to the female T just for one session about this. That is, if they will let me do that. And another thing is that my T cancelled on me; I was supposed to see him today. So I might call tomorrow and ask if the female T is available to have a session with me this week. Thoughts?
