I never see female therapists for fear of trying to get what I never received from my mother. I only see males which does cause me other issues like the desire to be protected and saved but I never want them to come close to hold my hand, hug me or wipe my tears. That would send me crawling up the walls or feel obligated to have sex as I did in my younger years. I felt obligated to have sex with any man that was nice to me or helped me. Weird.
