"When sadness comes, just sit by the side and look at it and say, “I am the watcher, I am not sadness,” and see the difference. Immediately you have cut the very root of sadness. It is no more nourished. It will die of starvation. We feed these emotions by being identified with them."

This is a secret of mine in dealing with dysphoria. A lot of people ask me what I do to make dysphoria better. I often talk about things you can do when you aren’t feeling dysphoric to build up yr self-esteem and help increase alignment between yr body and yr mind, but there is something you can do at the time: get all buddhist on it.

You can acknowledge that the dysphoria is there, without identifying with it and letting yrself be consumed by it. The dysphoria does not equal the hurt that comes from dysphoria. Dysphoria is at its root an emotion - our reaction to it is the feeling - the hurt. Learning about buddhist philosophy and psychology has really helped me prepare my mind for the hurdles of both every day life and the difficulties specific to the trans experience. I strongly suggest looking into this and practicing “watching” emotions rather than identifying with them.
