> .... I know therapy is supposed to be pushing me out of my comfort zone but I don't like the thought about trying to start a new therapy relationship with a woman therapist and telling her upfront that I already don't like her because of all these reasons!

----flutterby:----- venturing out of the comfort zone often results in growth.... I've been told by every therapist I've ever seen -- "if it's not uncomfortable then progress isn't being made". Of course you don't like the idea-- it's out of your comfort zone. I think not much progress is made when one just stays within their comfort zone.

so the question is-- Do you struggle in your outside world(away from therapy) with female relationships? and if so-- do you want to change that? then I'd think having a female therapist would be the first step to getting beyond such a prejudice stance..... just my 2-cents :o)

that ol' saying comes to mind-- "nothing ventured, nothing gained"
