Just wondering what do you girls wear to see your therapist, guy mode or girl mode or maybe alittle of both. Just a thought. MMMMMM?

Krista,
I just came out to my therapist and wife a few weeks ago, and as I present as male I do with my therapist as well, but I underdress (bra/panties/PH). It seems to get me talking, as I can be pretty quiet. Whatever feels right for you!

Do you have something you WANT to wear to your therapist? I think that can guide you in some way, but honestly I think it is truly what YOU want because they are about YOU.

^^ I second that! ^^

Ive been thinking of what to wear for a while lol the 28th seems like an eternity.

Will be my first session and its after work lol so my options are limited for now.

Im thinking of femme guy mode, as far as i can go without being questioned at work haha.

Sometimes I dress up a little more femme when I talk to medical professionals for the first time, if I want them to accept me as transgender.

My therapist knows gender, so I just wear whatever I want.  Some days, I'm coming straight from work or something, and I'm in boy mode.  For a while I used to dress extra femme 'cause my therapist was the only safe place for me to do that.

I'm always in girl mode now. To the therapist i wear what i wear to work which is "smart casual". This time a year it is jeans, a nice top, boots and a jacket or sweater.

The first visit to my therapist I was all guy mode and very nervous, as time passes I have gotten more and more relaxed. It's been about 10 months or so. The last few visits I have worn my girl jeans and under dress. But tomorrow I'm thinking about all girl clothes.
I have to keep it conservative though, I still have short hair (in the army) so there is no way I can pass right now. Anyway I have been thinking about it alot, just thought I would share.

I wore what I was comfortable wearing. I was full time coming into the therapy sessions all along so I was dressed as my authentic self Mariah all the way along. Hugs

First few visits were in straight up guy mode, then I slipped into a more andro mode. Something I'd been doing fairly often before starting therapy. Don't remember exactly when but earlier this fall said the heck with it and have been going full on girl mode for months now. Think the change had a lot to do with me finally accepting who I am.

I've always just gone in a t-shirt and jeans. Technically it's guy mode, but given that I have long hair, and I usually have my messenger bag with me (which kinda looks like a big purse), I think it comes off pretty androgynous. At least that's how my therapist perceived it, which is fine by me. I'll admit, I'm still not good at dressing up for anything.

Wear what you are most comfortable in. If you are afraid to present at all in girl mode then wear your most comfortable guys clothes. If you think you can handle it go ahead and wear women's clothing.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to wear at the least my girly sweatpants and a little eyeliner to my therapists tomorrow. The thought makes me excited and happy. I'd say how you present is totally up to you!

I first went in mens clothing for a couple of sessions. Then I started to wear woman's jeans and alternate. I went to her fully dressed I think two times. Was fun and I loved it but it was scary thinking that people may figure me out.

I'm not out so I go presenting male.

As a side benefit its a good test of the therapist/psych. If they have an issue with it, then they are not for me. I've seen 3 so far, over the years, and its never been a problem.

For the first few months I was figuring things out -sort of - so I went in male mode, after that as me ever since.

6 years ago this last October, I started seeing a gender therapist. I think I went to see her in 'boy mode' for the first 2-3 sessions and then when I went to the grocery store en femme (first time) I ran into my therapist! lol. it was random.

From then on, I only saw her dressed as myself

OMG!!! It was an absolutely great feeling to go to the therapist as the real me. She wasn't shocked at all. She did do a double take and had a big smile. I was more open and honest, very relaxed and comfortable. I kept it simple just a purple and pink tie die long sleeve T, V neck , my body breif with small breaat forms ( a small foam rubber ball sliced in two, large A cup) blue jeans and vans sneakers and a black leather jacket. Very comfy. I'm so happy. Just wanted to share.

My schedule worked out such that I usually went in guy mode, because I had to leave straight from work. I did take off early one day so that I could go home and change, and I went in girl mode. It gave me the courage to bring up the hormone conversation again, and she wrote the letter.

It was pretty great, and I'm glad it went well for you as well.

My appts are usually before work so I wear what I wear to work. Usually a skirt with tights or leggings. I've been a couple of times on my day off and went in sweaty with a tshirt and yoga pants right after yoga class.
