    I'm meeting a new therapist tomorrow, and I'm really nervous about telling her I'm a lesbian. I've been in and out of therapy for years and the last one I told didn't go so well. (about 10 years ago.. she tried to convince me I was just making it up). I know chances are, this will go better.. and I know technically she isn't supposed to judge me, but I am just hoping I don't have a complete anxiety attack doing it..

    I'm sure it will be fine! Be sure to tell her about the damage the previous therapist did.

    I'd talk to her honestly and openly... and if you two go along together it should be fine... I'd listen to my intuition... (*hug*)
