Perhaps you can resolve the issue that makes having normal woman anatomy unbearable. I know it is hard to imagine feeling that way, but if you *could* feel accepting of whatever anatomy you have, I think that a lot of your internal conflict would lessen.
I am working on a deep internal conflict right now, too. I see the symptoms, and we've talked about the symptoms for maybe 6(?) sessions. I want him to just tell me what to do, but that isn't the issue. We need to figure out why I feel the way I do, and why it is such a conflict for me. Somehow saying "the rest of the world gets along just fine with this conflict so you should, too" doesn't help at all. For ME this conflict is very important, so *I* have to figure out how to resolve this *for me*. No, I have no idea how we go about doing this. If I figure that out, I'll let you know. All I know is that resolving the issue that I'm living right now is not the point. The point is that there is an internal conflict that I need to resolve.
You have one, too.
