I’ve always struggled to build rapport with female Ts. I think a lot of this is due to negative maternal transference. I have seen a female T for a couple of sessions recently, and won’t be going back as I find her annoying and unhelpful.

However I am going to continue (for now) to find a female T to replace the long-term male T that I’ve recently terminated with. I experienced a lot of attachment-based transference with him, and am hoping that I’ll be able to spare myself that in working with a female T this go around.
