My journey down the yellow brick road starts today

[KymmieL]

I have my first session with my therapist today. She is a specialist in LGBTQ. I am so excited. I am going to finally be able to open up about my thoughts and fears. With her help I hope to learn and grow. While I haven't decided if I will transition or not. With her help maybe make that decision easier. 

I will post later about how my session went.

Hopefully skipping down that yellow brick road soon. Ruby heels optional.

That is wonderful news.  You already have a brain......your seeing a GT.  You certainly have courage and a heart as well.  Soon you will begin to find if those ruby slippers fit or not.  Either way the journey is important.

Looking forward to reading about how it went.

 

Hugs,

Best of luck today Kymmie.  You don't have to decide whether or not to transition today, you are on the road to understanding yourself and being able to make a choice.  Be honest!

Well today's appointment went well. We discussed different things. Mostly my fear of telling my wife. She seems slightly anti- LGBTQ. So the Dr is having me write down instances where Trans people where a conversation. So now for the hard part, trying to remember in the past 32 yrs 11 months since we got married. When such a topic my have came up.

I see her next week so hope to learn  more. Two unfortunate things 1 She is looking to move out of the area. Mid Oct-Mid Nov. 2. She is mostly a preliminary therapist, meaning she sees people short term. Hopefully she will be able to get me with another experienced therapist to continue my journey. Where ever that is.

Congratulations on a good meeting and I hope you can find someone long term to see.  Writing down your thoughts is great as it helps put it all into perspective.  Hopefully your wife will be understanding when you speak with her.

I am hoping that they will show the glesen  PSA about transgender students around here. It maybe an ice breaker or avalanche depending. May help. I will hope.

My second went well. Opened up about myself so she knows me better. Now until next session I have to work on what I want to ultimately do. What I want out of my wife.
