Kim*, 21 years old:
"Recently I have become very private and have developed a real fear of others.
I found out about psychotherapeutic counseling through the Internet.
My therapist made me feel comfortable from the beginning.
This allowed me to talk about my insecurities regarding my sexual identity and orientation for the first time.
Currently, I am considering contacting a trans*-specific counseling center.
I realize that there is a long road ahead of me, but at the moment I am less afraid."
