I as well believe therapy with a male if you are female is not dangerous. Granted, I have yet to terminate, but I know when the time comes, it will not be the end of the world. I really think it all has to do with the quality and experience of your therapist. If you hvae T who can't handle transference or is lacking in other areas as far as your treatment is concerned, the termination will be bad.
In my opinion, the T, through therapy, not only helps you cope with your current problems, but will also make termination seem like the next logical step. I suppose it all comes down to dependence. I know for me that if dependence were encouraged, I would have a very hard time terminating. Or, if his boundaries were loose, etc.
So I do not think therapy with a male is dangerous. Therapy with an incompetent is dangerous!
