In reply to Male or female -- does it matter?, posted by Aphrodite on August 30, 2004, at 18:01:56
Awww, you made my day. Although that's a little odd, because it's your pain that did it. :(
I didn't have much choice about male or female, I don't think. I got the person who did the intake, which turned out to be a great match. I don't know if I would have been given the opportunity to change within the center if I decided I couldn't work with him.
I think after a year, I would feel comfortable talking with him about sexual issues, and in fact a couple times we have. It's embarrassing, but I think it would be with a female T, too. It's just not the same as talking with a close girlfriend.
Perhaps you can talk with him about whether or not you feel comfortable about going in this painful direction? He may have some insight into it that helps.
Warmly,
