So many changes since therapy has started

[Michelle M]

Hi everyone I just wanted to share you all the things I’ve seen and felt change with me since my first two therapy appointments.  I was so fortunate to find such a compassionate and affirming therapist.  Since finally being able to open up to someone in a safe space I have felt so many changes.  After the first session all I wanted to do was start shopping for womens clothes, nails, wigs and bras.  Also this is the first year that Father’s Day felt different and awkward. I live my kids more than anything and will be there for them forever but it just felt different.  I’ve also noticed that I’ve just been more calmer and nicer.  Not that I was a jerk before but just more sympathetic with people and things.   For the first time also this morning when I looked in the mirror while getting ready I just had so much desire to not look the way I am now and look more female.  I think there is a few things that allowed this to finally happen.  I think since therapy has started I have overcome the self denial part and have moved into the self acceptance part.  It’s scary but at the same time a sense of peace knowing my true self. It feels good

Michelle, it seems that we all share a common thread. Completely different lives but similar desires, wishes. My therapist is also amazing, she has helped me immensely. I find more and more that the time I have spend presenting as a man is time that I want to spend as a woman. I take chances daily, underdressing at work. Wishing all the while that I could display at some chest. Someday, someday.

Hi Katie,

I fully agree with you.   I went from being scared to death to take that first step and see a therapist to looking forward to the next appointment.
