It was 8 years before I told my mother and I only told her because my Ts and siblings pushed me to do it. But anyway, I called my mother and told her I was seeing a therapist and asked if she would come to an appointment to which she agreed.

I had a lot of sh** to tell her so I wrote it out and read it to her during the appointment. I wouldn't have told her with out having one of my Ts with me. In my case I needed my T to deflect her negative reactions and to also explain the different issues I was dealing with.

You may want to let your mom know you are seeing someone and ask her to come to a session with you. Having your T there to help explain what you are going through as well as support you may make it easier.
