I finally decided it was about time to talk to someone about my crossdressing, as I never have before.
So I found myself a local counsellor doing sessions on Zoom initially.
After two sessions as a male I plucked up the courage to be Karen for the first time talking at length to someone. It was such a lovely feeling and we spent a while just talking like two women about clothes, shoes, hair and makeup etc. By the second session as Karen I was beginning to feel so natural as a woman.
We are going to build up to meeting for a walk as Karen once Covid allows.
It's been such a wonderful experience and I now can't wait for our weekly meetings.
Has anyone else done the same. If you haven't might be worth a try.
Hi Karen,
I have been in counseling for several years now. I opened up to her before anyone else. She was the person that encouraged me to come out to as many people as I can. She helped me with all sorts of suggestions ranging from clothes to makeup.
In some ways she became a best friend. It probably was stepping over the line for her. Counselors shouldn’t do this type of thing, but I’m glad she did. In the end I am much happier!!!

I have been in therapy for cross dressing for several years now. I chose a counseling center that focuses on LGBTQ issues. From the beginning I dressed in a skirt but otherwise looking like a man with my bald head and mustache. In the fall of 2019 I decided to get a wig and shave the mustache so that I could go en femme. From that point on almost all of my sessions (every two weeks) have been en femme and I agree with you Karen it is a wonderful thing to sit and talk about who I am while fully dressed as the female part of me that is so important. All that any of us want is to be accepted as a human being. My therapist has been wonderful.
Good Luck

the counselor I am seeing is a great lady! She has been a great supporter of my cross dressing and is very intrigued by it. A few weeks ago we did a zoom call with me dressed up, she was pleasantly surprised as how I look and had many compliments. It was a lot of fun.
I’m amazed at the number of thanks I have received over this. Strictly speaking a counselor should never step over the line with a patient like this. In any event, she is a friend now and not a counselor. I no longer pay her, and she has refunded every penny I had paid her.
She really deeply understands transsexuals, and she is doing a wonderful job of coaching me. I love going to the store and picking out clothes and makeup.
I am really glad to have her in my life. She is a very stylish woman and that’s what I need right now!!!

Love, I'm glad that you are receiving support on your journey, your counsellor sounds like a beautiful person and having a stylish woman as a confidante is every CD/TS girls dream. I wish you good fortune on your journey.
Hugs and kisses

There are therapists that use all kinds of techniques. If my aged memory serves me right I think Claire Balding spoke to someone who offered this kind of walking therapy on BBC R4 a couple of years back.

I have not had to a counselor. I have been blessed with family and friends that have given me their ear and helped me to be comfortable with myself.
It is so heartening to hear these stories of great experiences which should help those to make the decision to do so if the need is strong.
Is it an ethical issue for them as to whether or not they will go out with you? As for becoming friends, as in Nicoles experience, that is a personal decision as you are both adults.
The main thing is that they are there to help using their skills to do that. It is clear there are those that will go that extra mile.
