All of my therapist have been extremely nice women who have probably been pretty soft with me.<BR/><BR/>But my god man; not the Therapist I just had! She's tough as nails! Don't get me wrong, she supports you when you need it, but when it's time to fly ... she's peeling your fingers off the edge of the nest! ;)<BR/><BR/>Here's a blurb from one of <A HREF="http://pebblesunderthetongue.blogspot.com/2005/11/pfsp-day-12-telephone-transfer-lows.html#links" REL="nofollow">my blog postings</A>:<BR/><BR/>"<I>I told Lori I needed a pep talk. I did need one, but didn’t expect one … actually I didn’t even really want one. Lori doesn’t exactly hold your hand, it’s not her style, and wouldn’t really benefit me anyways. She’s pretty good at knowing when providing support makes you stronger, and when it will make you weaker … then acts accordingly.</I>"John MacIntyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168929401589812169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-1121208451225140652005-07-13T00:47:00.000+02:002005-07-13T00:47:00.000+02:00So as a therapist, what is the effect of having fe...So as a therapist, what is the effect of having female therapists working with male clients?Tom Weidighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02084153394215001999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-1121110304484117112005-07-11T21:31:00.000+02:002005-07-11T21:31:00.000+02:00I suspect you will find cross culturally that ther...I suspect you will find cross culturally that there are more female therapists in ANY field that uses the word therapist as its descriptor. Some investigations have alluded to the idea that THERAPY, counseling, or any of its otherwise known as terms, are more verbally oriented--an area of the brain that women are generally better designed for...also an idea illustrated in various studies.<BR/>And of course, this verbose comment is sent to you by a female therapist!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>PSWilliamsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
