      I’m trying to be proactive. I found a good therapist in the area that has experience with gender counseling. I really don’t know where I live on the spectrum, and I hope visiting a therapist can help guide me to an answer. I’m anxious and scared at the same time.

      Can someone describe to me how their first visit to a therapist went?

      Gia,
      Here is the link to my story about my first counseling visit! https://www.crossdresserheaven.com/starting-counseling-and-the-road-to-recovery/

      It was not limited to the crossdressing issues but that was a big part of it! I had never been much of a believer in counseling but girl was I wrong! It is so amazing to have someone to whom you can tell EVERYTHING about yourself! A good counselor doesn’t TELL you what your thought are–they help you to explore and discover your OWN feelings and gives you the tools to lear n more about yourself and accept yourself.

      I too am in a similar position. A closeted CD for most of my life I was convinced that that was ALL I was until recently. If you asked me. I would have said that I’d never even think about being out and about much less even THINK about transitioning. But in he last year or two, I have come too realize that it is NOT enough to just dress as a female! I feel as though there is a female soul inside of me that is who I truly am and the question now is how much she gets a chance to live and be out in the world! If money were no object and I did not have to work or worry about keeping my job, I might already have made the transition. But work IS a concern! So I am seeing my counselor-exploring my feelings and how far things need to go to be truly me! I feel as though I am being chases by a tsunami of femininity and that it may only be a matter of time before I am awash. This is something I both fear and look forward to at the same time! We ill see how this journey plays out in the coming months and tears!. Hope this helped answer your questions a little bit anyway!

      Hugs,
      Cyn

      Gina,
      Just like you recently I found I had Gender Dysphoria issues for a long time, and I was try in denial and think I had a fetish of like women clothing. I try stop the urged by gave all my woman cloths to charity, and dump all my makeup in the trash. For past 10 years I was so miserable and each time I walk saw a woman my mind just wish I look like her.  Recently I had a friend who begin her transition, and I ask her how she knew she had gender dysphoria issued.  When she told me her story about decision to transition, and I compare her story to my think begin to click.  I begin to realize I had been in denial for so long that why I always feel miserable.  This Friday I will meet with Gender Therapist for the first time.  Now I am nervous and happy. Good luck
