Two Patterns After Realizing You're Trans: Floodgates Open vs. Resistance.

Dr. Z explains two patterns after realizing you're trans. Pattern 1: Floodgates open—can't get enough gender-related things, social transition, feminizing/masculinizing. Incredibly impatient for hormones, surgeries. Feeling not doing enough while doing too much. Why? Gender identity kept on tight leash throughout development. Now it's starved, hungry—like being kept from water then drinking insatiably. Natural but pace yourself. Pattern 2: Gates shut tighter—resistance comes up hard. Freaked out, scared, terrified. Ego hates change. The more uncomfortable with change, the higher resistance. See the water but can't trust it, keep away. Concern: tighter resistance means abstaining from confronting yourself longer, accumulating dysphoria that may burst, leading to regret. Watch to find out why massaging resistance prevents prolonged pain.
