A comment in another thread about sessions that were posted, prompted me to wonder about the voices of pdocs and therapists and how much voice plays a role in trust and efficacy of treatment.

Questions for anyone with thoughts on this topic:

Does your pdoc (or pdocs in general) have a particularly creepy way of speaking? Or, if not creepy, then peculiar in they tend to all speak in the same overly modulated tone, as if speaking to someone with the intellect of a lima bean?

Does your therapist have a voice that bothers you in any way, but you are able to get past it?

I recently saw a new pdoc and was completely creeped out by her manner of speaking, then I realized that all the others I've seen at that same clinic spoke the same way. And the therapist I last saw had a voice with zero affect that, the one time we spoke on the phone, left me feeling like she was going to come after me with an axe (tho, it could be her dialect). I was fine with that particular therapist otherwise, as long as it was in person, but the voice alone gave me chills.
