Most of my experiences with female therapists were not positive ones. I tended to have negative transference towards them and there was much distrust and disagreement. But I did once have a good relationship when hospitalized as a teen with a woman who was a psychiatric nurse. She was very skilled and knowledgeable. I wasn't getting along with any of the other staff male or female. She was my only advocate.

Outside of that experience, I've had more easygoing rapport with male ts. Maybe I am just in dire need of a positive experience with a male authority figure.
Thanks for this!
