I WAS WONDERING HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE A WOMAN AS A SHRINK ? I LOVE WEMON BUT HOW CAN A WOMAN UNDERSTAND SEXUAL ABUSE FROM A MALE VICTOMS POINT OF VIEW ?
 
My T is a woman and she is really quite good and very professional. I actually feel safer with her than I think I would with a man. No issues have come up that have caused me any concern regarding her understanding of my abuse.

Michael,

My T is a woman and as my perp was a male, for me theres no way I could cope with a male therapist. She has many clients male and female and specialises in CSA so I dont feel she lacks anything other than if she were perhaps a male herself and had been abused herself. That then puts her into the league of Therapists who have been abused themselves. If thats the criteria for an effective counsellor then I think the list of qualified Ts would be greatly reduced.

I know many of the guys here who have female Ts and male Ts and have had both over the years. Conversely, I know for female victims there are many Ts who are male. I dont think the gender of the T (be it the same or opposite of the victim) is the contributing factor) in their effectiveness. It comes down to the ability of the therapist and how well the patient gels with the therapist.
 
I chose a male T because I didn't trust a woman to understand the problems that I faced. I thought a male T would be more apt to ask the appropriate questions. It turned out that I had to say everything outright anyway. Maybe a female T would good for me I don't know.
 
I had a female T for a few weeks. She admitted right up fron that she was illequipped to do the best for me in my situation. Not because she was a woman, but because her expertise was not in this field. She did all the hard work of getting me hooked up with my current T because whe cared and wanted a good situation for me.

I was searching specifically for a female T because I didn't trust a male. It took some encouragement from her to get me to give the male T she had found a chance to work with me. I'm so very glad I followed her advise.

Lots of love,

John
