A step in the right direction
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
