Gender therapy for genderfluid people?

[Cmattison]

Hey all! So ive been doing a lot of soul searching. My Gender is almost always on my mind. There are days i am definitely female and days im definitely male. I have been looking into gender therapy if for nothing else, just to get a better understanding of myself and who i am, and who i will be. I have been on other forums where theyve stated that finding a gender therapist that recognizes genderfluidness is very difficult. Im 99% sure that for now at least, i will not be socially transitioning. I feel most comfortable being my male self at home, with my husband and in situations where i wont have to explain it to people i know. Also, i have always had a near non existent libido, however, when im my male self, my libido soars! I am unsure that a gender therapist will help with this because ive been told people usually see them so they can transition. While one day i may transition, i know this just isnt in the cards for me at this time in my life. Therefore, is seeing a therapist even something i should consider at the moment? 

 

Sorry if this post is all over the place. Im making lunch, cleaning and trying to take care of all the kids.

I suggest finding a therapist in general to sort through things with. Even if it’s a 3-4 times a year deal. I only say this because I was 100% against therapy most of my life. But since finding a GOOD therapist, I think everyone should see one a couple times a year at least. 

No matter what’s going on, 60 minutes later I feel better about everything. It helps keep things in perspective. And if you ever do decide to go further having a therapist already in place will be a beautiful thing. It took me years to find mine. But I’m glad I kept at it.

Thanks! Unfortunately im not someone that is going to just open up about this to someone. I have had a regular therapist and unfortunately she made me feel worse not better. I am unsure how i feel at this point. Maybe im better off doing this on ky own and doing my own thing until i know whether i truly am ftm or genderfluid.
