> Then, when my current therapist's wife died a few years ago, I saw a colleague of his who was covering while he was out. It helped a lot because I was really depressed at the time. He also gave me an insight that I subsequently shared with my therapist and that helped us explore some stuff.
That's cool. When my old therapist was out on maternity leave, I was supposed to see a substitute, and the hope was that we would work on some of my issues with my therapist's pregnancy, mother-child feelings, possessiveness, etc. But I really really didn't like her - I went once to her before my therapist's maternity leave and then once after, when I found out that my therapist had had her baby. After I knew that she was okay, I didn't feel the same need to see the sub. She and I didn't really click, so it wasn't very useful.
I am looking forward to talking to a male therapist, though. I have so many issues with men - especially trust issues, and some of what I'm dealing with right now is around that, so I'm hoping it will be somewhat enlightening. Of course, it is just one session, and is just intended to keep my head above water...
