[The First Aria]

Really???   It's your money and or insurance.  You have got to have questions, fears, quandaries of you own.  My only suggestion is try not to hold back.  I think it took me like 2 - 3 sessions to feel free enough to really share with my Therapist.  He or she can and will guide you if they do not think you are opening up.

You might be really surprised at yourself.  I feel like the only difference between a life long best friend and my therapist is that my insurance and co-pay makes it so she has the time for me.   LOL   It sounds stupid and silly, but after about 3 months, that's how I felt about my therapist.   And unless you lock yourself out, you will feel the same way.

So relax and enjoy!  It's probably the best that you've spent money on.

Aria,
Thank you for the response. I do have my questions of my own and fears, thoughts everything. I think I was more looking at getting advice from ya'll regarding after you had your appointments do you wish you would have asked them .... this... or that...things that you may forgot to ask and suggest it to someone new on their journey as they might now have the same questions. I plan on completely opening up I've been harboring this for many years... it's time..my only regret is I didn't do this in my 20's

Starting younger?  Me too.  Except I wouldn't of met such a lovely woman, had 4 kids and 11 Grandkids.   It's all a trade off, i'm afraid.....  I asked why after so many years of just cross dressing , do I find it necessary for feminization, why do I feel like I have lied to myself and everyone I am near and dear to....   Oh ya.  See, all of us are NOT that different except to what degrees we want to take things to.

You'll do just fine.  As a matter of fact, I will bet you that you will ask the therapist about that you can't even think of right now.  Or things that you think are too private to chat about...   That's what's so good about a therapist.

Enjoy the things you two will work out and explore.  Even if some things are scary.
