I go to counseling sessions every two weeks. It has helped a lot with dealing with many other (non CD) issues in my life. Still, I have not ever been able to talk about my crossdressing with her (counceler is female).
I feel like this is the best opportunity to try talking to someone face to face. People in her profession should not be judgemental, but you never know. I see her in about six hours, and I have considered talking with her about it.
Talking here on the forums is safe. If people had rejected me, I could have just disappeared from the forums and no one would have known who I really was. You have all been so supportive, but I was prepared to cut my losses if it had turned out differently. This is different. I will have to deal with rejection personally.
How have you dealt with talking to someone face to face for the first time? Is it a mistake to try this? Should I get more comfortable with this online community first?
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
