Yes I'm confused as to who is going to win this thing Georgette or Him and right now we are on a balance of sort he does his thing at times and I do mine.
I think I made sense didn't I?
Interestingly enough Georgette, in one paragraph you state both that you are not confused and that you are confused.
You say you don't know who is going to win this thing...is it a winner take all approach on both sides? You say you have struck a balance of sort where he does his thing and you do yours...so actually, what's the problem there? Unless you are transitioning and feel that you are a woman inside trapped in a man's body, I should think a balance between the two would be an equitable way to resolve the issue. Unless what you are feeling is guilt and shame about Georgette and trying to reach a point where you can break free of her altogether. I'm not saying that is what you want, merely that I do believe that you ARE confused as to EXACTLY what you want...hence the reason you are doing therapy in the first place.
So you have to start asking yourself some pointed questions and get off the fence on this issue. 1. Who and what am I all about? 2. How do I feel about being Georgette? 3. Do I want to be Georgette 24/7 or is just being her on a part-time basis emotionally satisfying enough? 4. Do I LIKE being Georgette, or do I have some internal unresolved conflict about the need to be her and actually wish I could do without her? 5. Can I be happy and content housing two distinct and different personalities or personas in one body for the duration of my life?
While I am not a therapist, I have been doing this for over 40 years now and have gone to 3 different therapists within that time since 1991. I probably got the most knowledge and education about who and what I am and am about from the woman therapist I first saw in 1991. I had 7 sessions with her before I realized there wasn't any reason to continue on because I pretty much had a handle on what I needed to do from there. The 5 questions above, I believe, will go along way to helping you to resolve this emotional conflict that you are presently going through. If you can answer them all honestly, this should help you to come to some conclusions as to where being a CD is all going to go for you on down the road of life.
As alway Georgette, you are part of a wonderful community of caring, supporting, and loving people who only want the best for you in life. Please continue to "draw from the well" here as needed as we will always be right here for you.
I hope that this has been helpful for you.
Good luck and may God bless you.
Love,
