Okay so it’s kind of wild that it took me three months to actually post this.

My family lives overseas, and back in September I came out to them about my same-sex attraction. It’s been a lot. I didn’t really feel understood, and there was this unspoken expectation that I’d change or “get healed” somehow. I wanted to actually hear them out and also give myself a fair shot at figuring things out, so I ended up talking to a couple pastors, and then found a therapist on my own who believed that letting go of same-sex attraction was possible. He was actually pretty supportive with everything else I had going on, but this specific part… I genuinely couldn’t figure out how to do what he was suggesting, or honestly whether it was even something I needed to do. Stopped seeing him about three months ago.

Since then I’ve just been taking things day by day on my own, got into some outdoor stuff which has helped. But I think I’m ready to actually talk to someone again.

Here’s the thing though, I genuinely don’t know what I’d want from a therapist at this point. Not sure what approach or belief system would even feel right to me. I’m not looking for a debate about it, just… someone good. Ideally someone you or people you know have actually worked with around this stuff.

I live in Frisco, closer to Plano, but open to options in Dallas or the areas within an hour of me as well. Any names or experiences welcome. Thanks.
