Wouldn't it be better to just find a female therapist? Seems like you would be avoiding "issues" like this altogether.
Personally, I've never had any emotional attachment to anyone in the medical field, in any form... so, it's VERY hard for me to relate to.
After reading all of that, and some responses, obviously from females, as a male, I'm confused in so many ways.
Women seem to read so much into what men (and other women?) say, to the point at which I avoid them entirely. I wish I was exaggerating...
There are many different ways to "interpret" what he said to you, but why go down that road at all? Why don't women (in general) just take words at face value? Pretty much all of the men I know (or know of, have known, etc), including myself, mean exactly what they say, the vast majority of the time, and do not intend or desire anything else to be interpreted from what they said.
More often than not, there are NO hidden meanings in what we say. Women are so emotionally driven, again, like the statement I made above, so much so, that I'm afraid to say "anything" to them; for fear of how what I say will be twisted around, misinterpreted, and so on. It's infuriating, really...
Logic > emotion, any day. Understand that, and you'll understand most men.
