I had counseling session - do I call it counseling or therapy? - I think I prefer counseling... kind of like the question I had for my instructor, do we refer to people as patients or clients? Lol.... now I understand the perceptions of labels in this regard heh. Anyways..... I had my session yesterday afternoon, and it went well. I got a lot off my chest about my growing frustrations in not getting even touches of sympathy at home... yes, to be expected perhaps, but I am human too and I do have feelings. But to the point, it was more a watershed event in one aspect ~ I used the TS word.
I have been lurking behind the comfort of the TG label for a bit, perhaps in a curious state of self-denial, but I know where things are going. It's simply a matter of execution... So, yeah, I am a trans... a transsexual. And that scares me even more. Lately there's been lots of changes, when taken separately don't add up to much, but as a whole, do paint a different picture, most of which are somewhat intimate and I really don't wish to discuss them now. But suffice to say that I picture my body differently, I see things from a different perspective.
