don't flop. This is an important post

I think I will never heal from Heritage dysphoria 

I decided to start healing from Heritage dysphoria by myself

my first plan is trying to have a streak to see how many days I can go without thinking about it but I broke it today.

I will never heal. Well until I'm an adult that is because I get to move across the country and study Nordic history and be the person I want to be right now.

Any advice on healing??? I already changed my name (Kajsa) and I need help on finding ways to Indentify myself as Nordic. I wish I was adopted by my non-biological Swedish-American relatives I have. It feels extremely illogical for a Venezuelan-Spanish girl like me to be obssesed with Nordic countries

I don't feel free. I do have a therapist for Heritage Dysphoria but I will only see her once a month, and my 1st meeting with her is in September.

How do I heal by myself? My family would absolutely get mad at me for my Heritage dysphoria alltogheter. I wish I was an adult so I can legally change everything there is about me and people would recognize me as Scandinavian.

Look up coping strategies for gender dysphoria, I think I answered a post once about dysphoria and I used a gender dysphoria help website and it had a lot of things that could go for any dysphoria.

Also, I know this’ll sound harsh or rude, but there’s this thing people made up called trans-racial, and I’d just like to remind you will never be able to identify as another race/heritage, and you seem a little like you are heading in that direction. Your heritage is valid and something you should be proud of. It is something you cannot change at all either. But what you CAN do is embrace other cultures, live in those places when you grow up, learn about and study the heritage, which you are basically doing, which is good. I just don’t want this to escalate into “I identify as Swedish and I’m trans-racial” because it’s not just you that has this “heritage dysphoria” and I have SEEN people turn it into this-

I do know about RCTA, and I don't support RCTA.

For background, I am not looking to be RCTA. I am looking for support for me to stop feeling Heritage Dysphoric because I want this feeling to end. However, I can't get any help or way of healing due to my parents.

I need to control myself, and I promise I'll try to improve by myself. Because I want to live a normal life. I already have improved because there was a point back in July where it got really bad

I'm sorry Toe.

THANK GOD

Don’t apologize, theres nothing to apologize about 

Do you need me to post some of those strategies so you don’t have to have it on your search history?-

OML TOENAIL I THOUGH YOU WERE GONNA KILL ME FOR RESPINDING

I don't support  RCTAs due to the fact that they just like the aesthetic of their countries and not the genuine culture/history of their countries

I once saw a "South Korean" RCTA who's new name is literally 3 Korean Last names  RCTA people are so goofy and we don't claim them

Please post the strategies under a post with a goofy title (that has nothing to do with Heritage dysphoria because my.mom will look through my phone but she's on a business vacation sooo)
