I much perfer male therapist as it seems that I can bond with them a lot better than females. Of course then again those are some of my issues too so it spills over into my therapy situation. I love my therapist...he's a male, he is so gentle, warm and comforting. All the things my father was NOT so it may be that having a male therapist for me works best because it allows me to work through some of my issues better.
