Male psychologist/therapist?!
Question: Male psychologist/therapist!?
I've been assigned a male therapist / or something dunno wat itz called!. But is it weird I'm a bit worried about it!? I would hate to cry or would be less likely to be more open than with a female psychologist/therapist!. Is it stupid that I think that!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
it's not stupid that you think that!. it's how you feel, and you're feelings are never wrong !.!.!. they're YOUR feelings!
if you don't feel comfortable being open with your therapist this will hinder your chances of working through any issues productively!. talk to whoever assigned this man to you and tell them that you would rather have another therapist, preferably female, since you don't feel comfortable with the one they gave you!. if they refuse to re-assign you or for some reason cannot re-assign you then i would try to find another place altogether!.
and !.!.!. if none of the above are options for you then open your mind to possibly trusting this man enough to be yourself and show vulnerability !.!.!. you never know, you may end up really getting along with him!.
good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

No it isn't stupid at all and you can tell them that you would be more comfortable with a female therapist!. They can change it for you!. It is important that you are comfortable with the therapist no matter who it is!. I generally didn't like the male therapists either!. I did however have a male psychiatrist recently that I really liked but he has moved back to his home state now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
No it's not stupid!. I would honestly feel the exact same way!. I see a female psychologist and it's hard enough opening up to her, I would hate to have to see a male psych!. But I suppose it's not fair to judge the person since I've not met him!. You never know, he might be the right person to help you!. Why not give it a go and see how things turn out!?
