I have an appointment :D for next Wednesday (She was willing to see me yesterday, but I chickened out declined.

I'm excited, and really scared. I know this has to happen, and I have a really good feeling about her being willing and able to help me, but my previous experiences with therapy were less than stellar.

Oh Treasa,

Everything will turn out right!

I just have a good feeling about it!

Just be yourself, and it will all come naturally.

Remember, what you say is between you and the therapist, you should feel safe telling them your story.

Let us know how it goes!

Sounds a lot like me, my prior experiences with therapy were not the most enjoyable moments in my life. My first session with my current therapist I was incredibly nervous about going in, which according to my therapist I did not hide in any way. After a month of seeing her I have opened up much more and feel like I am at a second home. Hope your sessions go good and that your therapist works good with you.

Relax and remember the therapist is there to help you - not for you to entertain them, they work for you.

Be yourself and be happy.

Love ya,

Thanks everyone!

I know that she's there to help me, and she's been wonderful so far (and we haven't even met yet).

Somewhat hopeful,

Just relax and be yourself.

The new therapist protocol calls for transacceptance and support in helping

you find your comfort zone,growing in the direction you need to go, as smoothly

as you can get there.Good girl for seeking out and finding a gender therapist.

Big Hugs,

Angie

Congratulations with getting a therapist! I was afraid seeing mine the first time, but after meeting him that slowly faded away.

Update:

All of my fears were (of course) groundless. I had a wonderful meeting with my new therapist and I am very glad that I went. She made me feel very comfortable from the moment I first met her until I left.

*HUGE sigh of relief*

Thanks everyone,

Treasa -

I was in the same situation as you - I've know for years that I was ME; I never hadthe courage to go head on with my issues; I made a New Year's Resolution in 2009 to finally do something about it; I researched and found a GT in my area; I made the appointment;

Then, I got to the door, and had "cold feet" - but I knew it was now or never - I'd ultimatley end up dead- so I walked in.

It was the best experience of my life! I finally am on the journey I knew I was meant to be on and will ultimatley be ME!

Don't be afraid - Go For It! - You'll only feel better tomorrow!

      I read it on medium.  I have an account but I don't remember paying that much for it.  Sorry.

      Good morning everyone,   It was our first night with our European Boxer and it went well. We got up at 05:30 let him out of the cage and went directly outside to give him a chance to go potty. It has been raining for two days and nights so the grass is soaked and nearly up to his belly. I don’t think he’s ever been outside while it’s raining or wet. I had my rain jacket on and a big brimmed hat as well as rain boots, he just stayed at my feet no matter where we went in the yard. I took him to the previous locations where out daughter’s dog had gone poo, but he just sat at my feet. Once inside and drying him off with a towel. He took a poo right there. So I gathered up his mess, and took him and his poo outside. So right now it’s dog one, trainer zero. Now that the coffee is brewed and I have a cup, he’s chewing on a toy.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Strange that I awoke from a dream dreaming about "being able to pee standing up!"   I know that sounds strange from someone AMAB, but intersex issues have always prevented that.    I wonder what made me dream like that? That was a first! 🤔

      Morning y'all.    Nearly winter here, but it's a mild climate compared to what most of you experience. Even so, the best way to describe the mornings lately is...nipply! 😁

      What I don’t like about the dealer working on my car, yes the put the paper mats on the floor, but why don’t they remove them when they bring my car to me?  And why do they always mess with my radio settings and my electronic dashboard settings?  I get them the way I want them and they seem to want them at factory default.  Leave things like you find them!  Why is that so difficult?  And don’t tell me it’s because the updated the computer! Every time!.  And no I haven’t figured out everything yet on the new car.  I can’t even get my key programmed to move my seat when I get in and out.  It’s supposed to move the seat, the mirrors, the steering wheel and several other things.  My old Eddie Bauer was easy to program but then it only programmed seat location and pedal location.   ok now that we’ve had our rousing knock on cars and dealer mechanics.  What else shall we talk about?  Bras?  Seems like an appropriate subject for most of us.  I have several different types. Two are famous store push-up padded to are more common everyday lightly padded ant one is a no padding no strap slip and the last one is a front close longline no padding.  Now that one supports the theory that I am now a B cup on my own. I’d prefer a C but then I’m not so sure my blouses would still fit without pulling.  Ah the problem we have as women.  And sizes are never ever the same.  Oh I’m a size ??  But men I need a large shirt and 36-30 pants and they always fit.   we can’t buy anything off the rack with confidence it will fit and I hate having to take it home to try one and return what doesn’t fit.   we’ll time to do my hair and leave.   love ya   Willow
