I wonder because you are both lesbians does that prohibit you from connecting? I ask because I would have real difficulty connecting with a lesbian t being a lesbian myself. I would be terrified of getting close or connecting and of attachment.

I am not sure. I have connected with her more than I did with my previous male therapist. My fears around connection seem to be more about maternal transference than being influenced by sexuality. Having said that, I am too emotionally dim to distinguish sexual attraction from emotional connection so maybe you have a point.
Do you deliberately choose straight therapists? What is it about a shared sexuality which makes the idea of attachment so scary? These ideas are interesting, thank you.
