First appointment with the therapist in a week, wish me luck!

The usual emotions apply, afraid, excited, etc.

Not very experienced at that, got 30 years or so doing the other thing though.

Putting on my normal clothes feels like cross-dressing all of a sudden if that says anything about my state of mind, lol... Gonna have to bite the bullet, come out to the rest of my family and buy some clothes soon...

  Hi Danielle,

  I just had my first appointment with mine this morning. I was a bit apprehensive when I made the appointment but calmed down after posting about it here. The reality of my visit was that it turned out to be anticlimactic.  we got to know each other a little and I told him several thing in my history but we didn't really get into anything deep yet. I feel he now has a good foundation of who I am now. We will have several things to explore from here as time goes on.

  You will be fine once you get there and start talking. Just let it flow and don't overwhelm yourself with uncertainties. There will be plenty of time later to get into details.

  Hugs,
   Jeanette
