Do you have any advice for choosing a therapist who doesn't blame my period for everything or tell me I'm crazy for wanting equity? Feminist Advice Friday (paid subscriber bonus)
I keep finding out that my therapists have offensive views about women. How can I choose a decent one?
A reader asks…
I am now on my third therapist. It’s not because I reject their advice or anything. Instead, the pattern is that I get accustomed to them, and then they say or do something sexist. My last couples counselor suggested that my period might be the reason I want my husband to do more domestic labor. The one before that said my husband can’t feel loved without sex, and that I therefore can’t expect him to do any more chores until I fuck him more regularly.
Is this just what therapy is like? Or is there a way to more effectively pre-screen my therapists?
