Glad to know I'm not alone on this one. I've worked in healthcare before and my field was totally dominated by women. The last female therapist I spoke to didn't seem to be interested in helping, at all. From the moment I walked into her office she was defensive. Like I was just interested in attacking women and all men are wrong etc. I wasn't surprised. I don't hate women anymore than I hate mosquitoes, traffic, taxes, sunburns, or anything else. People deserve to be treated well and everybody should be able to get help if they need it, regardless of gender. Honestly, I felt so much worse after talking to her and she seemed as though it was some kind of victory for her. Who was the therapist and who was the patient? I'm amazed there isn't some training or education on this subject. I'm probably just venting now, but I would never, ever, ever, ever make a woman or a anybody else feel like that. How can a trained therapist do that? Even if she felt that way, isn't it her job to paint on a supportive facade and be the caring person she signed on to be? Vent her personal frustrations when she isn't on the clock? Men have feelings too. Men suffer from depression and all sorts of mental issues. Shouldn't everybody be able to get help? Worst of all, she is a crisis therapist. The person who talks to people at their darkest worst moments. I know I was beyond low when I called. That's why I called a crisis hotline. Men don't deserve to be treated like that, no more than women do. Every PERSON should be treated well and should have access to the care they need. No distinctions, no limits, period. Thanks again for all your support. I sure didn't get it from the crisis center. (What's worse, she gave me a phone number for a male therapist that was disconnected. So frustrating.)
