I’m a woman with a male therapist and I think he’s great. Very compassionate and kind.

When I started therapy I didn’t care whether I had a man or a woman, but I had better experiences with the men that I tried out. The women I encountered I just didn’t resonate so well with, though I think this was likely just to have been chance. But I think I kind of prefer a male therapist now. Like growlycat, I appreciate that they seem less likely to assume what my experience is like..
