Coming out in Therapy

Dark_Night · **Coming out in Therapy -** September 2nd 2010, 03:31 PM

So something happened today that I wasn't expecting. I went to my therapy session today now that school has started again. I talked about a lot of stuff and then she asked me if anything else was going on. My whole issue about me being bisexual was running around in my head so little by little I started to talk and be open to her about it. I started just rambling talking about a lot of stuff that I had in my head all these years. I felt weird because it's stuff I hadn't really said outloud but at the same time it felt nice. Though I had all ready begun to admit this to myself, saying it outloud made it more real and I'm sure will make me accept it more.

She was totally cool about it. She said she's had patients who have been through similar situations. I feel comfortable with her so it was nice that I could finally admit certain things.

That's so awesome! The weight must feel like it has been lifted and like you said; saying it out loud makes it more comfortable for you.

Congratulations!

Well done to you then! It must have been a really tough thing to do, it's never easy to tell people personal things like that but you did a good job

Yeah it certainly wasn't easy. I kept debating on whether or not I should. There were even a few moments of dead silence because I was having an internal moment debating.

In the end though I'm satisfied that I came out and did it.

Congratulations! I understand how difficult that must have been, but you were extremely brave! I'm so glad it went well.

that is so awesome

I have those weird silent moments too, where I'm like, 'should I say that?'
I think you've done something real brave

Well done! I'm glad you worked up the courage to talk to her about it, and that you feel better afterwards.
