To expound a bit on what therapists do…
The human brain obviously does all sorts of things. One of the most important things that it does is think and act in ways to protect our bodies, reduce our stress levels, etc. Ever notice when we have a difficult decision to make, it isn’t unusual to be easily distracted? It is our mind’s way of attempting to lower our stress level by avoidance. Thinking about how the concept of gender applies to us and considering the possibility that our thoughts about our gender may not be in alignment with our bodies is very stressful to think about. It may lead us to delay thinking about this or skipping over considering important elements. What a therapist will do is work to understand you as a person and help maintain focus on what you need to think about. No one will force you to do something or think in a certain way. Basically it is about unlocking our own thought processes, figuring out what we need to do, understanding the subtleties of our decisions and becoming comfortable with them…
