Psychologist/Psychiatrist GP Counsellor etc

[Paul]

Hi All,

I wonder how many of us in the GLBTIQ+ community' use the services of a professional e.g. a Psychologist.

I've found that if I hold nothing back when talking to my therapist that I get more from the experience and better care. Do you hold anything back?

Are there any other factors involved that you would like to share about the type of professional you chose or the help you receive?

Well, mostly I haven't. I tend to react to those little messages that come across indicating that they don't get what it like to live as a LGBTI person and sometimes worse. Things have improved so much on that front over the years to be fair. I found going to a LGBTI specific service I was able to trust enough to talk more freely and it did make all the difference.
