Title: Starting Therapy Finally
Post by: Chelsea on February 17, 2018, 06:40:39 PM
I finally got a appointment to see a therapist and hopefully start HRT.
I am a little nervous but I think that's probably normal. The appointment is
almost 3 weeks away and the suspense is killing me just sitting here waiting. LOL
What kinds of questions am I going to get?
Wish me luck. :)

Hugs

The time will fly by! I think many of us had butterflies going into our first session! All I can say is be honest as to what you want out of therapy. The therapist will guide you. All the best!

Your appointment should be any day now. May it be what you hoped for.  By the way, the wig looks good.

Good luck! 3 weeks will pass quickly. I'm still on the waiting list to my therapist so I have no clue about questions you'll get. But my advise would be: be yourself. You are not the first transgender to meet her/him. They have seen it all. And knows your anxiety.

Sure did. I started a timeline post here to document my progress. I have a more detailed post there. :)
