[lkngfrfaith99]

hi ladies i went out today for a 2 time to see my counselor and she now wants me to go out to sharis restaurant so that i can be more at ease in the public. i have been more open ever since i have been going to see this counselor. i am feeling much :) happier than i have in a long time thank to her.

Are you having problems going out in public generally? Or are you saying that you have been councilled to go out 'dressed'. What's the background to this? Tell us a bit more about it.

And if you are happier then good for you.

If this counselor is making you feel better about yourself, then good! Perhaps you could share a little more in hopes that others here could benefit.

the counselor that i am seeing is encouraging me to go out dressed up in public more. she thinks tht it is good for me to be who i want to be and to show that. she is also suggesting that i get a sex change. is this wrong?

Not necessarily wrong if this is what you really want.If this is your therapists idea then I would seek a new therapist.Keep in mind that you have to do only what you want for yourself.

Love and Hugs,

In my opinion, counselors can be helpful but they can also be a hindrance.
Why did your counselor suggest that you have a sex change? Did you imply that you would like one? What didn't she say to stay as a hetro crossdresser?

My wife has acted like a counselor to me. She asked lots and lots of questions about what I feel and then encouraged me to express my "self feelings" as I see fit based on how I feel. Now, (as you probably know) what you want to do.....and what you are capable and feel comfortable doing, (especially in public) can be two completely different things. Sometimes we need reassurance and encouragement. What I am saying is that I totally see where your counselor is coming from when it comes to dressing up and encouraging you to face your fears and go out as a woman, but to go the whole nine yards and have a sex change....did she get this idea from you?

Take care

A psychiatrist recomends that I dress as much as I like to calm me down, and she approves of me going out. She also brought up surgery, which I'm noy=t going to do for a number of reasons. She kept me froma nervous breakdown,and I owe her so much for her help.It's good that you're seeing somebody for help.

I wonder what they are feeding these councelors these days. No competent councelor is going to suggest someone have a sex change. The'll discuss the possibility that the patient is gender dysphoric and ask questions to determine to what degree. Later they'll discuss the possiblity that the patient may be TS, and then ask how they feel about about that. And after some more discussion raise the possibility of GRS. Note I said GRS, not "sex change".
