I'm so nervous right now I have no idea what to expect from this. Can anyone give me some pointers? It's hard for me to clearly express my feelings
No idea... I've never been to a gender therapist... And have only just for the first time last week admitted to my regular therapist that I'm trans. But all the best to you.
My mom is in there now for half the session but like, I just don't know how to explain the feeling I have of being in the wrong body. It just feels right thinking of being a woman and doing feminine things? I'm not the specialist so it's hard for me to understand everything
She's going to ask you why you're there. You answer honestly and go from there. I've been to two and they both started with the same open ended question.
I had a therapist before for 5 years. I never told her before even though I had a suspicion about myself. The therapist I just started with is the first time. And he wasn't even a gender therapist like I said.
The two therapists I've seen in the past year have both sat me down, closed the door, and said, "What brings you in today?" It was all down hill from there...
Bingo bango. It's what happened to me and I basically came out to myself that way 27 years of repressing this and I felt a million times more liberated afterward!
Definitely liberating getting it off your chest. When I see the therapist, I may not stop talking. (Or it could be the opposite and I'll freeze again, but meh.)
I've always been the quiet one so to speak. I never thought I'd be able to talk to a therapist, but thus far it's worked out quite nicely for me :eusa_danc (!!)
Yea, I'm not sure what's going to be talked about next week when I go back. I want to see how he handles my admission.
Hm, interesting video ^^ I came here yesterday and was too lazy to click play- but I came back today reading "THE RAPIST!" I can be really smart sometimes :l How'd it go
