my therapist didn't know and decided I need to resolve my depression before trying to transition
thats unfortunate, they dont understand transition is the depression cure for us huh
Throw them out the window
Can confirm there are a lot of therapists who fail to get informed about their patients' specific circumstances.
When you get one that breaks client confidentiality, maybe even contacting authorities for no good reason, then you've found one that deserves to lose their licence and get publicly shunned. That or find the corpse of a suicide in their ~~bedroom~~ office one morning.
I had the opposite happen, my therapist wanted me to "just try estrogen for two weeks" to see if my foggy brain symptoms would resolve. Scared me and I decided to keep working on my depression symptoms without her help. But I did keep in mind the more helpful things she did to help me crack my egg.
