Title: My First Session with a Therapist
Post by: ErickaM on September 19, 2007, 06:22:30 PM
This day started out rather bad; the team that I work with has only three members one of the members said that he was resigning due to the company that he works for was screwing him over, he is the only one at work that I trust.  But then as we were going to lunch I received a call from a therapist I've been waiting about 6 weeks to get in to see and my first meeting with her this afternoon, I am so giddy.  The meeting went very well; we went over as much as we could within the hour limit that therapist set.  I will be seeing here weekly for a bit until which time I can get in to see the Philologist who can refer me on to a Doctor in DC and to begin setting a time line for transition.  Upon walking me to the door she asked if I would be interested in meeting with one of her other patients that is also MtF and of course I agreed to meet with her seeing how I really have never sat and talked to someone else that was going thru this journey, well except for you guys here, and the therapist thought that it might do use both some good.  Well anyway it just goes to show how quickly a bad day can quickly turn around. :icon_lol:

I'm glad you have the chance to meet another traveler.   Life just gets better once you interact with people you can relate to.
