Thanks for your advice
I'm aware that it can happen with either gender, but given my previous experince and my tendency to seek for a mother figure, I think it would more likely to happen with a female T.
The modality that I'm currently interested in trying is Gestalt. I think transference can be a big focus with this kind of therapy, but I think it could be beneficial for me right now, after having tried different things.
I'd be interested in trying DBT too, but there aren't that many professionals specialized on it in my country.
