Journal Entry: 8/26/2011 - Therapy

Laura went to her first therapy appointment today. Her alter ego male persona had been going up till now. Laura had given her therapist advance notice and as usual, an air of excitement sourounded her as she got ready. She tried on two dresses until she was satisfied and the 4" silver heels. Today was the first day she could sucessfully change her earings, replacing the barely noticeable crystals with large sterling silver hoops.

She arrived just a few minutes early, Diane was waiting for her. Laura sat comfortably, if excited, in her therapist's office, relaying the advances towards transition since her last visit. She loved the compliment on her 38B breasts and the 15 lbs weight loss since the last visit. (10 more lbs to her belly piercing). To recap her advances since her last apppointment:

• ears pierced
• expanded wardrobe
• first time out: GLBT Coffee
• second time out: BDSM munch
• third time out:GBLT coffee
• fourth time out: Gay bar
• fifth time out: Local (straight) bar/restaurant
• sixth time out: today

She discussed the advances as further evidence of her feeling that she was meant to be female, noting the feeling of internal peace along with the "smile from her heart". They discussed Laura's wife's response, to include recommittig to be together, even as Laura. Laura explained to Diane the reason for the name she had selected for herself and they discussed that she had begun laser facial hair removal and the next step of beginning hormone replacement therapy. Laura will work to find an appropriate endocrinologist and susequent referral from her HMO.

It was another good day...and now the weekend, hoping to remain Laura unitl Monday morning.....it is friday afternoon now.

I am sincerely,

Laura Catherine
