I just told her at the beginning of the appointment that I needed to share some information that would make her formulation of me complete. Then I just blurted out that I was transgender. Hiding this has been getting harder and harder. I have carried that secret for about 30 years.
Another thing I had to do was correct a lie that I told her about my sexuality (my attraction to women) 3 years before, because it bothered me. I admitted that I lied and told her how I always felt.
She was supportive and didn't judge me at all. My secret didn't surprise her at all. She asked at one point why I kept this all in. I told her it was because I feared getting diagnosed with personality disorder again.
It took me a few weeks to get the courage. I had to carefully think it out and plan what I was going to say.
Now, I have no secrets.
