I think there is a way I think of as typical male - it is a stereotype and it is general and there are exceptions - but I would not be able to deal with it - I have some male friends but I am not, in general, someone who does well with men (male students often gravitate to me - but I am talking about not students). I am trying to figure out how to be supportive here but I really dislike what I hear about this guy and CBT - so I hope you can figure it out and that he keeps helping you more than he hurts and frustrates you.
