When do i tell my therapist that I’m not human

(This is a gross exaggeration of how i would go about wording it to anyone with a lack of knowledge on the issue)

@Oneironott How quickly do you want to get them down the rabbit hole? You could just go with "I'm not really human, biology notwithstanding, and I want to make sure that you're comfortable both with me saying it and asserting that it doesn't need to be fixed before we get too much further." If you want to walk them down from furry and otherkin to your own identity formation, you can, but I would think a good therapist would be able to hear that and say "okay, tell me how you identify instead."

@orrery very fair :) thank you 💙💙 i’m fine working it in gradually. I’ve already told her that theres a lot of… nontraditional things about me and my identity so *shrugs* at this point it’s mostly about getting myself comfortable enough to say it, which i’m getting to ^^
