GONADS!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

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

>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

then what inappropriate behaviour did you have in mind?

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.
