Hi Karla,

Thanks for all the tips (and all the other good stuff i have found from you whilst reading this forum) !

Its indeed my privilege and pleasure to be of support in which ever way I can.

..........  he wasted some time trying to convince me that I was gay.   Hopefully this is the exception rather than the norm; or at least the profession has become more... professional in the last quarter century.

Regrettably this is not the case. There are still many of his ilk out there dispensing their own Transphobic methods of a "cure." And for those who are already in a state of bewilderment and confusion, there is no real way for them to evaluate whether, what these so called professionals are saying is right or wrong. By that time further damage is done.

This regrettably puts the patient, in the initial consultation, in the role of an interviewer. To establish the credentials and worthiness of the therapist before anything else can be done. I sincerely hope you are able to find one that you can trust sufficiently to allow you to be guided through this labyrinth.

Be safe, well and happy.
Lotsa huggs

Cheers, Catherine !   Was able to get an appointment for this coming Tuesday with a local therapist who comes recommended on one of the TG pages.  Will tell how it goes... but in a new thread.  This thread was about breast forms, which i'm really glad to not be buying...

This may sound irrational, but i'm glad the new therapist is a woman.  I cannot tell you why.

Hi Karla,

That's fabulous news. I hope it all goes well for you. I look forward to hearing about your outcomes

A quick update, Catherine.  Today was my first therapist appointment... went well and it was nice not having to prove myself.  I felt accepted, at ease... not much to say though, it was only an hour, but i'm looking forward to next week.

Doctor's appointment is late next month... and she is an OB/GYN !!! 

In a word; FABULOUS, Karla.

I'm so pleased this occasion went so well for you. It's an important step along the way for you. As you further "relax" into the trust with this person, feelings, events and situations will be encountered that will strengthen your confidence, self esteem and bring the woman that is inside you, to the fore front.

Giving yourself approval to release old baggage can be the most liberating experience known.

Wishing you continued success and growth

Huggs
