I am 44, like maturity and life experience and believe that these do need some decades to develop. Also, I am a very tech-oriented person both professionally and in my private life. If the T had reasonable basic skills in technology and did not tell me to dump my devices and codes, they would be fine at any age.

My T is exactly the same age as me, and I really like that. We share that card-carrying Gen Xer cultural touchstone with a light irony, and had many of the same experiences in our twenties.

For me, it did matter.
My ex T was in her maybe mid 70’s and I used to feel guilty weighing her down (essentially a pensioner) with my mid 20’s recklessness. |

It matters to me; I have seen two younger T's and one older T who was probably in her 60's.
My first T was in her 30's and super easy to talk to; unfortunately due to circumstance I had to terminate our relationship; but I really did like her a lot; in fact some days I kind of miss her. The next T was the 60 year old who didn't do one assessment and since I didn't have the sort of trauma she liked; she personally couldn't help me and said I didn't need therapy but instead a good Pdoc. The next T is 27 and only has a bachelor's degree but is in medical school to become a pdoc. I see him like a brother; he's very easy to talk to and super helpful. Based on my own personal experiences I prefer younger than 40; since that one T did leave such a bad taste in my mouth. __________________ Generalized Anxiety Disorder Depression Symptoms of PTSD Trintellix 10mg once daily Buspar 10mg three times daily |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
