Guest guest Posted September 22, 1999 Report Share Posted September 22, 1999 I RESENT the implication that because I said I would prefer a woman I am thinking of the therapist in terms of their gonads!! My preference for a woman has NOTHING to do with male bashing or because I have prior bad experiences (abuse or whatever else you can come up with!)I will be glad to explain to anyone PRIVATELY, not on the messageboard, why I prefer a female, if it's that important to you that you know. Secondly, I am not stupid enough to think that women don't also perpetrate crimes, sexual or otherwise. This has been a very disappointing start on this list. I think a better approach by the list owner would have been less accusatory and a little more understanding. I certainly would not use a therapist with the attitude that was in the original reply to my introduction!!Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 1999 Report Share Posted September 22, 1999 >I would prefer to have a woman working on me vs. a man. I just would feel much more comfortable and probably get more out of the hypnosis knowing I didn't have to worry about potential inappropriate behavior. >I RESENT the implication that because I said I would prefer a woman I am thinking of the therapist in terms of their gonads!! then what inappropriate behaviour did you have in mind? __ Ged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 1999 Report Share Posted September 22, 1999 Jackie: I am sorry that you have taken the response badly; however, you did say that you felt that a woman would be less likely to be inappropriate with you, and I could not let that comment rest on the collective mind of the list as a possible truth. Nothing was said about your male bashing; but I was not about to allow it to escalate into that. Since you did not post your statement privately, it needed to be addressed publically. A private discussion would not have cleared the air on the issue. You obviously will choose whatever therapist resonates for you, Jackie. There is no need to get angry because I responded to you from the standpoint of a female therapist who has worked with male therapists, taught male therapists, and is also married to one. I was not the only one who felt there was an implication that men are somehow less trustworthy than women in this line of discussion. I trust that you will let it go now. It is nothing personal.
