When to Talk to a Therapist

It is important to seek therapy for gender identity issues when you are feeling distressed or uncomfortable with your gender. Therapy can help people explore their personal feelings about gender and any related mental health concerns, such as anxiety and depression. It can also be beneficial to work through difficult emotions associated with the process of exploring one’s gender identity, such as fear, confusion, and shame.

Therapy can also be a crucial part of transitioning for those who are looking to affirm their gender identity.

They can provide support and understanding, as well as education about different aspects of gender identity.
