			<description><![CDATA[I'm considering the idea of going to therapy to address my circumcision trauma. I do not make this decision lightly. I have always been vehemently against therapy for this particular issue. It does not help that I deeply hate every aspect of the United States medical industry, and therapy falls into that category. However, over the past few years, my mental health has deteriorated and I am literally at rock bottom with nowhere to turn and nobody to talk to. <br />
<br />
I don't really have any friends. I have family, but I never talk to them or interact with them in any meaningful capacity. I'm approaching my mid 30s and have felt stuck all my life since I discovered what circumcision was and learned that this mutilation was inflicted upon me. I'm terrified at the idea that a therapist my laugh me out of the room and I don't think I would be able to handle that kind of disrespect.<br />
<br />
Would anyone recommend a male therapist over a female one? How should I bring up my trauma? Has anybody ever had a negative therapy session that only made them become worse? Would love to hear everyone's thoughts and take on this. <br />
<br />
Thanks]]></description>
