Saw My Gt For The Last Time

[JenniferB]

Well it's not exactly the last time. She wants to see me one more time this year before she retires at the end of the year. Just to see how I'm doing. What this means is that the GT part of my life is over. One other thing, she told me that even though she is retired, she would write a recommendation letter for SRS when the time comes.

Hi Jennifer,

It's one of those bittersweet moments - If a therapist is any good, you do grow attached. It will be sad to see her go.

But, it sounds like you've graduated too - This is the best part of the story!

Best of luck on the next leg of the journey,

Love, Kat

Well, I imagine that can be bittersweet, Hon.....

Lots of us become very attached to our therapists.

But, it is good to know that they feel that you are far enough along that they will let you go.....

It's nice about the letter, too...

Yes I have become attached. She is very understanding and helped me with my mannerisms when I slipped up. The hug at the end of the session was special. Now I think I'm going to cry.

Have your cry hon. It will help you feel better. My contract for gender therapy ended last year and it has been difficult without here experienced help. I obviously wasn't ready for our relationship to end. But such is life. You have been nudged out of the nest to fly on your own and that should make you proud and feel good.

Jenny,

A milestone in your evolution. It is a bittersweet parting for sure, sad to be leaving a friedn and confidant, but sweet to be moving to the next level in your evolution. Have a good cry for your loss and then get on with living your life, that is exactly what she wants you to do.

Jenn, I felt the same way when I said goodbye to my G.T. But its wonderful that she wants to keep in touch and give you your SRS letter.

That will really help.

It really is a special bond, when someone helps you find yourself. I'm glad you had a great one.

My GT is retiring too. I'll be seeing him on March 8th, and I might see him a time or two after that, but then he's retiring and moving to Vancouver. He intends to do a little part time work there, but they don't have a replacement for him yet, so I'm not sure what's happening with that. I'm gonna miss him, he's the best therapist I've ever had, for any reason (and I've been through more than my share of them).

Jennifer,

Leaving your GT is very difficult - I moved away and have only been able to stay in touch through facebook and Emails - no business talk just she became one of my best friends - she had told me that I did not need any more therapy and had given me my surgery letter several months before I actually moved.

I miss her hugs at the end of each session and the , "You go girl," whenever I had made any progress.

It is OK to cry a little but you have made a major step and the need for sessions is past.

Love ya,

Sally
