[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need a gender affirming therapist that treads the whole child and not just the gender aspects. The risk of self harming and suicide isn’t worth it.[/quote] A gender affirming therapist did more harm than help for my teen. She completely missed the ocd symptoms, one of which was gender dysphoria. We even told her about intrusive thoughts, compulsions and tics and she blew us off. She encouraged him to buy a dress on amazon and research hormone therapy. His depression and anxiety increased under her "care." Thankfully, we were able to convince him to take a break and start with someone new a year later. He has received competent therapy from an ocd specialist, who is also helping with the trauma the first therapist caused.[/quote]
