My current therapist is younger than me, initially I was worried about the age gap but now I think it is a good thing as I have issues with authority figures and older people and I am hoping that it will be easier for me to open up to somebody younger. I also know that she is in her own therapy and that she will seek advice from other therapists if she feels stuck, something I am not sure an older therapist with lots of experience will do. I am working on how to relate to people in a different way and for that I am not sure if age matters I think it is more important that I have a connection with her. I do have a different therapist to work on parenting issues though.
