I had another appointment with my Therapist last Wed.
It was originally to be an hour session. But it went over by half an hour.
As I continually make progress in my transition, she sees a lot of my progress. When she came into the waiting room to get me, she did a double take when she saw me this time.
Any way, to my point.
During our talk, she told me what has been taking so long for me to get on Hormones.
She told me that she had had a chance to talk with the Doctor that had done my Evaluation and found out that she has had my complete evaluation finished a long time ago.
She has been holding on to it so she could make sure that I'm more comfortable with the changes that I'm going through.
I had a chance to think about this and realize that this isn't a matter of my own comfort. There is always going to be situations and moments as well as parts of myself that I will always be uncomfortable with.
That is just life.
I realize that this is more of a matter of need and not one of comfort.
Sure, I'm a lot more comfortable with who I am as a person. But, the longer this goes without the medical changes the more uncomfortable I get with my own body.
Now, I can see that she is trying to be thoughtful about my needs. But, I don't think she truly gets it.
I kind of wonder if she's being an unintentional Gatekeeper through her actions or if she is intentionally being a Gatekeeper.
I think in answer to this question I'm going to give benefit of the doubt and say she's the unintentional Gatekeeper.
