Active Duty looking for therapist in Fayetteville NC


Recommended Posts

Guest Loeri

First post here. I am a mtf with 3 years left on my enlistment which I currently plan to finish out. That said, I need to talk to someone, I can't keep this to myself anymore. I was hoping someone here might be able to recommend a good transsexual therapist in the fayetteville area. I have googled but I am leery to see someone without getting a reference I feel I can trust.

Thanks in advance.

If I was you I would check out http://psychologytoday.com/ it's a great site. You can do a search with your zip code and then you can filter the results for someone that deals with transsexual issues. This is off the subject but are you stationed at no hope pope? I spent 2 years there. Just curious you don't have answer if you don't want to.

Hi Loeri,

Welcome to the family of Laura's Playground (LP), you'll find many resources here as well as many friends. MaryEllen has already provided you with the link to LP's reputable site of gender therapist. One note regarding the link; if you do not find a therapist in your area don't be dismayed, I found my therapist from LP's link and am currently having sessions with her via Skype, since she is out of Pennsylvania. So you see, you will be able to rely on a good therapist without having to have one at Fayetteville.

Btw, I spent over eight years in the regular army plus twenty-eight months in a mobilized status and serving one year in Iraq. I am presently in the Army National Guard out of Arkansas. If you need to talk to anyone from a military perspective there are plenty of us, mostly former, military service members in whom you can talk and I'll be the first to say that you can PM me anytime you feel the need or desire to talk.

Here you go, http://www.army.mil/article/52441/ <- transfer of Pope from Pope Are Force Base to simply Pope Airfield.

I don't mind giving out information about me if asked, but I am terrible about volunteering it ahead of time.

P.S. as I am sure some of you have wondered (I get it a lot) it's pronounced just like Laurie.

Thanks! All the counselors I found were at least an hour away, Laureen is half that distance! Sent her an email.

Due to our busy schedules the earliest Laureen can see me is the 19th. I was really hoping to see someone sooner than that, but I am leery of simply picking someone off a website without talking to someone about them first. I considered an online counselor, but walls are thin round these parts and my neighbors work with me. I will attempt to possess my soul in patience and wait till the19h.

So, less than a week till I see Laureen... or to be more correct, when I am supposed to see here. If next week is anything like this week I won't be off work until well after my appointment time. I sent her an email about it today, the thought of not getting to go has me kinda bummed out.

I hope I didn't look too antsy in the Platoon SGT Meeting today. Despite it finishing 25 minutes earlier than usual I was still almost 40 minutes late to my appointment, but I did make it KathleenMarie27! Laureen let me go well past 5pm, I doubt she had 5 minutes before her next appointment. Can't wait to see her again, and very glad I won't have to wait two and a half weeks for the next session.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."

      I have read some of it, mostly in areas specifically targeted at the LGBTQ+ peoples.   You also have to take into account what and who is behind the words, not just the words themselves. Together that creates context, right? Let's take some examples, under the Department of Health & Human Services section:   "Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike."   or   "Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society. Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden’s HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on “LGBTQ+ equity,” subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families."   From a wording perspective, who doesn't want to protect the health and well-being of Americans or think that families aren't good for America? But let's take a look at the author, Roger Severino. He's well-quoted to be against LGBTQ+ anything, has standard christian nationalist views, supports conversion therapy, etc.   So when he uses words like "threatens the health and well-being of children and adults alike" it's not about actual health, it's about enforcing cis-gendered ideology because he (and the rest of the Heritage Foundation) believe LGBTQ+ people and communities are harmful. Or when he invokes the family through the lens of, let's just say dog whistles including the "penalization of marriage" (how and where?!), he idealizes families involving marriage of a "biological male to a biological female" and associates LGBTQ+ family equity as something unhealthy.   Who are the radical actors? Who is telling people to be trans, gay, or queer in general? No one. The idea that there can be any sort of equity between LGBTQ+ people and "normal" cis people is abhorrent to the author, so the loaded language of radical/destructive/guise/threaten are used. Families that he believes are "good" are stable/well-ordered/healthy, specifically married/nuclear ones.   Start looking into intersectionality of oppression of non-privileged groups and how that affects the concept of the family and you will understand that these platitudes are thinly veiled wrappers for christian nationalist ideology.   What's wrong with equity for queer families, to allow them full rights as parents, who are bringing up smart and able children? Or single mothers who are working three jobs to get food on plates?

      Well yesterday didn't work like I wanted to. I met a guy and started talking and he was wanting to be in a relationship. I asked my kids on how they thought of me dating a man and they said gross and said no. I guess it's time to look for women. I think that is going to be harder. Oh well I guess.
