I've found that gender isn't the ticket -- it's really just about the individual therapist.

I've had female Ts I clicked with, male Ts that were crap, female Ts that were awful, and male Ts I've clicked well with.

I do feel that having a male T pushes me to confront some things about myself (my pattern for seeking a father figure) that I wouldn't confront while seeing a female T.

I'm sure seeing a female T would also bring about some unique confrontations.

Right now, I choose to stick with a male T for really no other reason than that's what I want.
