Nobody knows more about being on the receiving end of people's fears and assumptions than LGBTQ+ people. But we are all pre programmed with these from the environment we grew up in. The less aware you are of your internal (mental) state, the more you become a prisoner of it,
Why are some Queer people still internally homophobic and how does this impact their later lives? How does all this trauma impact us and prevent us from being our authentic selves free from anxiety ?
LGBTQ+ mental health is the focus in this episode as Graeme Smith talks to the US based psychotherapist and author Chris Warren Dickins from his practice in New Jersey about his new book "Beyond your confines". The book aimed at people who are interested in seeking therapy but often are not able to. In this chat we learn some of the core messages and thinking behind "Beyond your confines" and learn methods to apply the these to our own lives.
