LGBTQIA+ folks are significantly more likely to wrestle with mental health issues than their cisgender heterosexual counterparts. Queer and trans folks also experience a higher risk of PTSD than the general population, for many reasons. Religious trauma is a significant contributor to this issue, with problems ranging from parental disapproval to excommunication, and more.
You know who you are. But your upbringing or previous religious programming can continue to negatively impact how you feel about yourself when it comes to sexuality and gender, or your relationships style. I work with folks who often claim more than one of the following identies or labels:
- Bisexual
- Pansexual
- Queer
- Gay
- Lesbian
- Asexual
- Demisexual
- Polyamory (poly)
- Open relationships
- Ethical Non-monogamy (ENM)
- Transgender
- Genderfluid
- Non-binary
I want to honor your identity and relationship style AND help you work on healthy communication, boundaries, and more. Let’s chat about it.
