Curious if other folks have a gender preference for their therapists. When I decided to try therapy, a friend of mine who is a psychologist offered to help me pick a therapist. I specified that the therapist had to be male. For some reason I find it easier to talk to men than to women and was actually repulsed by the thought of talking to a female. (No doubt that's due to some psychological reason involving my overbearing mother or something like that. ). But I didn't mind the idea of trying to talk about my problems to a male.

I'm curious if other people also have a gender preference and whether you prefer the same gender or the opposite (?).

Just curious,
Sidony
