    My story is similar to so many members of this community. My desire and urge to dress starting back in my teems (and maybe earlier if I think about it) however it is always something I have kept to myself and suppressed over the years. But as we know it is something that can not be suppressed if it is a part of you.
    Over the years I have fought of bouts of depression and in doing so had many sessions with therapists but t have never raised this subject with them. Recently in an effort to get off the depression medications that were part of my life I tried a new therapy (which I might make as a different article) and so a new therapist. It is an alternate therapy and the first two session went really well and I felt it was something I wanted to continue to explore. The third session was a bit of a let down and as I reflected on it I realised that my failure to be honest in these sessions was most probably the reason, so I came to the conclusion that if I wanted to progress I would need to open up and that this new therapist was someone I trusted enough to reveal the real me.
    So at the beginning of session 4 she started of by asking what it was that seemed to be wrong last session as I seemed not to want to be there and so this gave me the perfect opportunity to open up. Needless to say this session went a lot better and now I can’t wait till my next session.
    Hopefully this step in the right direction will help me continue this discovery of the real me.
    Take care

    It is always such a relief to open up to someone. Well done Suzie.

    Susie,
    When on Chat with you a few minutes ago I hadn’t read your profile so apologies if I asked an inappropriate question.
    I hope things go well for you and hope you get a chance to enjoy Transformal at some future date.
    Best wishes
    Stephanie

    The first one I ever told after many years of hiding in the cupboard was my Mum of all people .i was going to my 1st sea horse meeting here in Melbourne , so I thought ok will call in and show Mum and put it over as a bit of a joke , it all went well she accepted me as Darlene , phew one weight off my shoulders.I guess at some time or another we have all been in the same boat
    Good luck girls and take care.
    Darlene .
