Woohoo! Started Gender Therapy

[Guest Erin Quinn]

I wanted to give a quick shout out to all the wonderful ladies and gentlemen out there who have been so kind and helpful, what an incredible resource this forum and entire site as been.

Happy to report I've started therapy as of a week ago. Oh wow, I was so nervous because I hadn't really talked to anyone in depth except for coming out to my fiance. Shockingly, once we started talking it was kinda hard to get me to shut up lol. It's just so nice to create a space that is 100% safe to talk about what I'm feeling and figure out exactly what I need and what is possible in my situation. As it stands, I'm going every two weeks, as while things are progressing, i still feel like i'm at the start of a long journey, so things are going at a slow pace right now.

But I am still super excited!

Erin.......

I understand your feelings about therapy because I experienced the same thing...I, too, was nervous at first and scared....

But once the flood gate was open there was absoutely no stopping...

You are on the right path now, Sweetheart....I share your joy at finally being able to let it all go....

Things may seem at a slow pace right now...but trust me....it'll pick up speed....

Good Luck, Girlfriend!

LOVE & HUGGS!

That is great news.

Don't worry about the speed along the journey, it isn't a race so take your time and enjoy all of the new feelings as all of the layers of masculinity slowly fall away and you emerge as your true self that beautiful woman that you have been in spirit for your entire life.

My therapy sessions have been some of the happiest times of my life - I hope that you continue to enjoy yours.

Love ya,

Sally

Congratulations on getting started with therapy.

I know it was scary getting started. When I first started I was so scared I almost chickened out at my therapists door. What saved me was that the door chimed and my therapist greeted me so kindly that my anxiety didn't give me a chance to bolt. Once I got sat down it was a scary ting to just start telling her everything. Which is why I know you made a huge step by going to your first meeting and getting past that hurdle. The rest of the sessions will most likely be very helpful for you. Keep it up Erin.

Erin, that's great news, Hon. You are on the right path and I know you will be happier with yourself as you move forward.

The first session is usually just an introduction, and later sessions will likely be more intense. If you're anything like me, be sure the

therapist has some tissues handy. You're going to need them. But that too is a good thing. Getting your emotions released and

having a good cry is soooo therapeutic.

I wish you the best on your journey. Keep us informed of your progress.

We care.

That is great news Erin!

Having a therapist to talk to every two weeks is good for the soul.You will get to where you look

forward to your fifty minutes and they blow right by in nothing flat.Slow is the way to go my sister,

you have a lifetime of womanhood to look forward to.So going about this in a slow and easy fashion,

can get you and your fiance used to the changes that will be taking place at a pace you both can handle.

Hugs Erin,

Angie
