    So the day has arrived and I'm sitting in the parking lot outside the therapist's building with about forty minutes before my first session. I am a bundle of nerves, but in a good way :slight_smile: I feel like this day has been a long time, an extremely long time, coming. This feels so big it's almost overwhelming. Almost. I feel like I'm taking one of the biggest steps in my life in just being here. It's like I know that nothing is going to be the same after today. It will be better :slight_smile:

    Everything I've done these past few weeks, the people I've come out to, even finding the courage to set up this appointment, so much of it is because of this site and the wonderful people here. Thank you all, and I'll let you know how it goes.

    Wish me luck.

    I was such a nervous reck when I went to my first appointment
    still was nervous for awhile in the beginning, what if someone I knew saw me, I would have to explain then and there
    though now I am no longer nervous

    but yeah,
    good luck, hope it helps a lot,

    It was fantastic! This is probably the single best thing I've ever done for myself. Her client base is largely TG, so lots of experience from questioning to fully post op and I felt like our personalities meshed well. I hesitated a couple of times but was ultimately able to be completely honest with her. She said everything I talked about fell pretty in line with what she's used to. I'm going back Monday to fill out forms and do a history and whatnot.

    I feel really good about her so far :slight_smile:
