Hi Sabrina,
I would agree with others here -- our CD'ing is part of us, and we shouldn't think of it as an affliction. Speaking for myself, accepting -- and ultimately embracing -- my CD has relieved much of my angst, anxiety and confusion. I've never gone to a therapist, it just happened over the years.
Certainly going to a TG-aware therapist might help. Paula's wonderful post is a terrific example of how it can help us. Paula, thank you so much for sharing this -- I think I will frame it and hang it on my wall! You've said so much about how I feel.
Hugs,
Claire
