Society has thankfully undergone a fundamental transformation in the way it views the communities named under the LGBTQ acronym. However, in addition to overt aggression towards LGBTQ individuals, more covert negative stereotypes of LGBTQ individuals persist. These stereotypes are harmful to the physical and mental health of LGBTQ people, and result in increased rates of depression, anxiety, long-term relationship challenges, sexual dissatisfaction, substance abuse, loneliness and isolation, and lowered self-esteem for these communities.
Over time, LGBTQ individuals understandably can take in negative societal attitudes about themselves, and direct them towards a hatred of who they are. To develop a healthy sense-of-self, recent research has shown that LGBTQ individuals must battle against conscious and unconscious processes of self-devaluation.
LGBTQ affirmative therapy can help work through what societally-placed internalized beliefs might be getting in the way of your leading the fullest life possible.
