joking aside, I am both incredibly nervous and excited to see my therapist for the first time tomorrow. it's wierd, all this happening all of a sudden. I came out last month and now therapy and who knows what next this year will have in store for me.
i have no idea what to expect, i've heard a variety of different first sessions with other trans folk, some drill you with questions, some scare you to bits some ask for your life story...OTL this whole journey is being so abstract...i can't pinpoint any kind of certainty with it. but i guess i'll figure it out, adapt move on.
also nervous about talking with someone, I'm so anti social...OTL I know it's for my own good so i need to just buck up and talk but still i can't help but feel nervous.
anyway, tomorrows the big first day of therapy. wish me luck!

Good Luck!!!
It is exciting and nice and thrilling.
I remember being so frightened on the first therapy session. I had all the tummy problems, nerves everything.
The first question totally threw me. "Hi, nice to meet you, what name do you prefer I use?' Oh my goddess someone understands!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs, have a good session and tell us about it!

Wish you a emotional day, or how about enjoy your day. Just be yourself and tell how you feel. Do not sugar coat anything and everythig if whom you are seeing knows the standards will go fine. First steps are always hard in life but this path you are on is one of the hardest you will ever walk. But is also very enjoyable at time.
Happy session
