Well, I had terminated T and got really anxious? So I found a Christian T near me. Hopefully he can help with the issue I'm having. I'm so nervous and my first appt is tomorrow and I'm so anxious. I don't even know how to approach the subject with him.

I mean how do I just blurt out that I'm catholic and I've recently discovered I'm bisexual. It's just craziness to think about. And asking him how one goes about coming to terms with that? I don't know I'm just a big baby.

My T went to seminary and I'm a lesbian.... he doesn't judge, its not his job.

Good luck with your new T. I'm sure he will not even question your reason for therapy. It is completely legit.

I'm curious why you feel being Catholic and bisexual are sort of opposites? I kinda though the church, at least the local practitioners, had moved beyond their prejudice. Maybe not. I hope there aren't people making you feel that you can't be both, that you're not acceptable as a person or a catholic. Sexuality says nothing about your worth as a human being.

Good luck tomorrow M81. I'll be in your pocket if you want. Put some chocolate in there.

Thanks everyone!

Lola- honestly not sure why I'm so nervous its really not judgement

Fixated- the few people who know in my church are not making me feel anything. I just feel that way. The church has a strong stance against homosexual act NOT the attraction. So as long as I don't act on my attraction to women technically there is nothing wrong.

Ike- Pocket riders wouldn't be a bad idea right now.

I just hope everything goes well.

Thinking of you tomorrow! I hope the appointment goes well.

Really wishing I could just back out now. It's just too much and it won't stop swirling in my head.

Melissa you don't have to bring it up the first session. But you could treat this as an interview to see if he's the right t and just outright ask him his feelings about bisexuality and how he could help u figure out how to reconcile that to your faith. That might help u determine if he's the right t for you. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.

Hi Melissa,

I sent you a pm in response to your other thread on this topic. Not sure if you got it....?

Good luck!

I did not receive your PM. Can you resend it to me?

Was just lurking and came across your post, when I read it I absolutely had to respond. I just recently came to terms with the fact that I'm bisexual also ( kind of always knew, but I think I was denying it to myself to some extent) and came out to my therapist (who is a lesbian) just recently. She was wonderful, of course - and I didn't worry a whole lot about judgement coming from her. That being said - she's a grad student and will be graduating in about 6 months. I'm absolutely terrified about looking for another T , as I know I won't ever meet another one like her, and I hate change. Good luck tomorrow though! I'm sure everything will be OK, and if it isn't , you can terminate and find a better fit, you're in control

As far as the catholic thing goes - Try and trust that god would never want you to hide or lie to yourself. It's the religion that has deemed homosexuality a Sin, not god.

Oh, bummer! I deleted my draft, so I will have to recompose it. I'll work on it now. I was wondering why you didn't reply.

Edit: Just PM'd you. Let me know if you got it!
