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 If it's any reassurance, every local from our crowd who has told their therapist about their big-I Identity Issues has gotten a pretty good reception! Keet had pretty much spilled the beans about her Pony Issues to her therapist and she just kinda rolled it into their discussions.
I wouldn't say every therapist around here would be so positive, but the already queer-friendly ones seem pretty open, and just grateful to have one more metaphor to work with therapeutically...
@zebratron2084 my life is all about metaphor
Unrelatedly, it was awesome to finally meet you!
@Oneironott Yup, and while you might have to shop around for a bit, in my experience good liberal-minded therapists LOVE it when their patients come in with their own DIY identity toolkit! (And you too! Sorry I didn't come say hi in person much sooner but it's been a very hide-under-the-couch sort of year. :> )
*Pulls the fire alarm*
@zebratron2084 Heey, very understandable. I'm still getting used to there being so MANY folks here that I want to spend time with. It's like a con, except I actually do eventually have the time to see everyone ;P
