Well the title says it all....
I came out to my therapist today via the letter that I had written to my family, mainly my parents, I haven't come out to anyone yet so this was uncharted territory for me, writing the letter was more a way of me getting my feelings out than anything,
I have to say I was very nervous, and nearly didn't do it, then handed her the letter as I was leaving and asked that she read it after I left, then we could discuss it in the next session.
It was very emotional, I was racked with depression, regret, tears, I even had a panic attack when I got back to the car... then she sent me a text message about an hour...
Hi --------, thankyou for sharing that letter with me - you have done an amazing job at atriculating
the situation, and we will start looking at that next session. You should be proud of having the courage
to share that with me. If you need to come in earlier than the 9th, give us a call.
Regards,
Still a little shaky but better now that I have taken a step forward,
I want to thank everyone here for their support kind words, and explanations.
Love and Hugs
