It is valid thought though
Suppression can kill you

I know that stress can be a Pandora of many ailments. But never thought of this. I thought this was probably one of the better sessions I have had yet.

I fully agree with that.

If suppression worked, which of us would be here ?

True, so true. I guess my GID was or is my suppression. I just never put 2 + 2 together. And if I ever did, it was was 44 not just 4. I am not sure how to explain it. But I think I have a better understanding now.

Hot off the press.
My therapist asked me if I ever had regrets trying to feminize. I told her yes, that a little whisper in my ear every so often. Like... "What are you doing? You are going to turn 62 in a few short days! !" Then I told her if that doesn't do it, then another thought comes in like...... " What are you doing to your poor wife???? She married a man, not a pansy! !"
My therapist suggested that I had every right to be happy. That my "Two Spirit" was a fact of life. That I needed to have a heart to heart chat with my wife to be truly happy. She was a true believer in when a person has a positive outlook that a person can conquer or at least more able to work through any situation. And that the physical well being was directly effected as well.
That the reason I go back and forth isn't because of anything other than being conditioned over the years that pretty much everything should or was black and white. That I had to remember there are shades of grey as well.
Well, that's the short form of our 45 min. session.
Later Friends

LOL.. I was hoping that the therapist could/would straighten or right the ship, as it were. I told my wife, that the support group was sort of a waste of time, except giving a name of a few therapist and a local Gender Doctor. I suggested at the time that I would probably try to find a therapist that had some experience with my problems.
But, for some reason, it's far easier to discuss the outcomes here, than with her. It's not that I am trying to hide a secret. I was just hoping to get my head wrapped around things or announce , for lack of better term, a cure from the therapist. Does that make sense???

To quote something I'm sure I heard somewhere before from someone wiser than me:
"A therapist can't tell you anything you don't already know"
Doesn't make them useless though. They're basically a friend you pay to talk to you who is guaranteed to keep things confidential.
Talking to friends is really therapeutic.
Referral letters are nice too.

Yes Thesurus, I think you pretty close to 100%. At this point, my therapist is at a level I wish my wife was at in that regards.
