My ex T was a male. And my current T is a female. And my ex T was extremely philosophically and logically a strong person. He was able to correct almost all the logic mistakes that I had, and was able to make me more giving, and more aware of society and others, and a better human in general. I was very selfish, and blaming my parents, and shouting at my husband, and was jealous of others, and was afraid of money, and health, and constantly frustrated. He changed every bit of it, and made a real nice person out of me.
But I still continued to suffer because of the emotional problems. The problems with my dad, and my transference towards my T, and just a depressed mood was still there.
And my current T - who is a female, has lot of psychological insight - she understands about emotions, and emotional patterns - perhaps better than my ex T did. And she has helped me a lot in curing my deep emotional traumas that I had.
Now I think that I am lucky to have had the best of both. I think everyone needs to go to a male T and a female T. Male Ts are extremely good in grasping the issues real fast, and arriving at a practical solution. And female Ts are good in emotional issues.
I needed to go to ex T first, and he had to correct all my logical issues first and then I had to go to my new T and she has to correct the remaining issues. Switching the order wouldn't have worked.
Anybody ever felt that?
