    I used to keep a notebook by my bed so I could write down all the questions to bring up with my therapist. The added benefit was that as soon as I wrote it down, I felt like I could just forget about it for a while and actually fall asleep.

    I just had my therapy session yesterday and she was so cool, said she’s been involved with the trans community since the 90s. She was so supportive of me coming out to her

      That’s awesome! Mine is on a gender journey themself. I don’t know if that’s helpful or less helpful but get where I’m coming from at least. You know, when you phrase it that way, I guess my therapist was the second person irl to come out to.

    Teehee

    My therapist helped but a lot of the work was, for me, reading reddit, twitter threads and blog posts of other eggs and trans people.

      Yeah I think especially in this, all they can really do is guide. And that is exactly what I need at times. I get too a crossroads but there’s too many different ways so I freeze and don’t know what to do.

        I’m glad you have a bit of guidance! Life can be quite confusing.
