Thought I'd share with you guys since I don't really have anyone to share this with quite yet. Today was my first therapy session. I feel so relieved. I said everything I needed to and wanted to. Everything I felt from when I was younger to this day. Luckily I had such an accepting and understanding therapist. Reading from other posts that seemed to be a problem to some, so that's what I feared prior. She (the therapist) has experience with transgender patients and even told me that a family member of hers also transitioned. After today's session it seems a little unreal to me that I'm actually doing something about this since having kept it inside for so long and denying it. I've finally completely accepted myself and who I am, and that's probably half or little less than half the battle. So I'm scheduled to see her again. I suppose my next obstacle is to come out to my immediate family. Anyway, she seemed to understand what I ultimately wanted both in my life and out of going to therapy. So, I'm satisfied with that. Thanks for reading guys.

I'm glad you found someone helpful and supportive.  Good luck with your family.

Great news. I remember the feeling after my first therapy session, getting all that stuff that you've kept inside for so long out into the open to someone is intense but so relieving, it's like a huge weight has been lifted. You're probably well into the sessions now, but best of luck to you.
