Therapist List

Hi, I recently looked at the therapist and saw that it had been updated since I last looked at it. There was a therapist on there that went by the name of Virginia Erhardt or something, I can't remember how to spell it, but it shows up when I search Google for her. Anyway, I was looking at the list and her name was removed from the therapist list. I was just wondering if I shouldn't use her for a therapist if she was taken off the list. It is kind of confusing me because by her name it used to say highly recommended. Is there any particular reason why she may have been removed from the list, and should I not bother with her and just use another therapist from the list?

It's possible maybe she retired or moved. What state and city are you looking for therapists in?

That's odd. I would have expected that she is no longer in practice, thus her name removal, but her site seems to be current enough (2009). I have no idea.

I, however, am attempting to find a therapist in California, but the closest ones on the list are at least forty miles away (all in LA). Although, I suppose that's not too bad. I'll have to research them individually.

You could try calling her and asking if she knows any therapists in your area. I think calling often as well if not better than internet research for things like this.

Her website could be as old as 13 months now. I'd go with Pól''s suggestion. Nothing gets down tot he bottom of things like a phone call. Who knows maybe it was an accident omitting her from a list that was updated from a previous copy or something. If she is retired I'm sure she knows of other therapists that offer their services in this field.

Oh yes. You're right. Even after a month, I still forget that we're in 2010 sometimes. I also agree with Pól now.

Thanks for the suggestions :) . I guess I will call her or email her, whichever is faster, to see if she is still available or if there are any other therapists in my area that she would recommend.

      My Endo keeps track of several trace chemicals in my blood system that can be affected by our slightly different hormone balance, keeping in mind we have had both hormones all our life, just in different balance.  I did have to change one diuretic I was taking that was crashing out one chemical that does affect energy levels, and it turned out that Spiro was the alternative to that one for the way it works there.  I was never on Spiro for the hormone issues per se.  Let your doctor know about the fatigue sometime today or whenever you read this.

      Hmmm .  .  . if I only had a ten-word description that completely described my identity. That would be great, but one doesn't exist. "I'm a girl—and a boy. And neither—and both?" There. Now you know, right? Maybe not. —Davie

      I think you should discuss it with your doctor.  I know you are 'asking around' but experience probably varies.

      This one is behind a pretty heavy pay-wall, for me $50 US/per year.

      Bipolar got me high and low.

      I had heard the story of Nicks-Buckingham but not the rest.  Olsen was prolific.

      I completely relate to this.  My partner of 5 years has made it clear she won't be going with me if I go down this path. I feel like I wasted her time with my own fear and procrastination.  I visit my elderly parents (my mother has dementia) and my first thought is there's no way I can put them through this. I think the same thing when I see my adult daughters.     Nobody is holding us hostage but us.

      I do get this, really.  However this is part of the reasoning behind the blockers.  Without them there will be "irreversible" changes, only not the ones wanted. No, I don't think this should be done lightly, but I have a problem with forbidding it by law in all cases.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  I have 6 of them.  I learned a lot.

      I'm kind of torn on this issue. On the one hand, I have met or seen youngsters, and there is very little doubt they are trans. It would seem cruel to deny them care toward this end. On the other hand, there are many others who may dip their toes into the waters while exploring themselves only to realize it isn't who they are. My daughter had a friend like that in high school. First he wanted to date her. Then he thought he was transfeminine for a season then realized that wasn't him.   We go slow on so many other things with kids. We don't let underaged folks drink or vote. We would question someone who locked into a career at age 12-15 (though there ARE some people who do know exactly what they want to do when they grow up very early in life). We would discourage marrying very young, etc.   I'm never crazy about government regulations on things because they tend to screw everything up. So I hate this has become such a political football where neither side listens to the other... But there is wisdom in going slow and allowing things to play out and making sure before such drastic measures as blocking puberty and having surgeries are taken...   Of course, it should be a person-by-person decision, working in concert with family, community and medical professionals, but it seems we never want to do it this way. We always seem to want to throw everyone and everything into a one-size-fits-all dynamic...

      Hey all, been on estrogen monotherapy for about two months. Man, I am just tired all the time. I feel like I have a low-level cold. Hard to get out of bed in the mornings. Even when I get in a good 8-9 hours sleep. Just have the blahs. Leg muscles are sore, like I ran all day...   There are a lot of other potential factors. I drink way too much caffeine (though I have always done that and not always felt this tired). I tend to stay up late on nights when I have to get up early the next morning. Not enough exercise. Have some thyroid issues, though I thought I had those back within normal ranges. Possible low potassium levels.   I realize no one here is a medical pro, per say, just curious if it is in others' experience to feel extreme fatigue for a season when starting HRT. This is one of the reasons I chose not to do spiro, is that I read it could cause lethargy and fatigue and make you pee all the time (I am having those issues too), but I am having a hard time with these effects anyways.   I suspect my T was low before I even started HRT (just by observing how the, err, equipment, hasn't functioned so robustly over the past few years)... Maybe my body isn't sure who is in charge right now in terms of hormones since a new sheriff has arrived but only in minor quantities at this point... thanks again!   EasyE

      I relate to a lot of this ... in my 50s now ... never really questioned my body but have always been fascinated with girl stuff (and loved that I had two daughters because it gave me an excuse to explore the feminine world more)...   I like how you said this: "When I dared to take another peek inside, my egg cracked big time." Yep ... yep ... yep...
