transI want to hear a few things that people who have successfully transitioned wish they could've told themselves or wish they could've heard. Stress relieving one liners, such as:
--You don't need to live in the shadows. You don't want the stress of a double life.
--You will make new friends who like you just as you are.
--You have a special life with a unique perspective. Appreciate that.
And similar. This idea was suggested to me by a friend I recently made on FB who shared a few things that she came up with in therapy a few years after starting transition that she wished she could've heard at that time.
