Im to nervous to tell my therapist that I'm trans - Elliot - 03-09-2016
I've known I'm trans for a couple months now and I've been seeing a therapist for other reasons but I been too scared to tell her I'm trans I have trouble putting what I feel in to words face to face with people but this dysphoria sometimes feels like I'm walking on legos

Thanks for posting, Elliot.
Do you know if your therapist has experience with trans folks? Unless I really liked my therapist, I don't think I would come out as trans to them if they did not have this kind of experience. After all, if I'm looking for help, I don't want to have to train the person who's supposed to be helping me.
Do you have a long relationship with this therapist? Do you trust them? Your gut instincts count here.
Having a therapist experienced with gender stuff is ideal, but this isn't always possible, and sometimes you have to make your situation work for you.
It took me a few months before I could speak about being trans with anyone. I didn't have the words yet, and didn't quite know how to frame it all. Some personal work had to happen before I could share it.
