Be a Confident, Happy and Healthy Gay Person Living a Straight World
Working with an experienced therapist can help you develop healthy self-esteem and confidence.
Take charge of your life and happiness!
It’s not easy growing up gay in a straight world. All your life you’ve been in a minority and you’ve probably been painfully aware of how you’re different from others.
If you’re a gay man or lesbian woman, it’s likely you’ve been on the receiving end of discrimination, prejudice and homophobia at one time or another. You may be struggling with these very issues right now.
These experiences can have a profound effect on you. You may be feeling depressed, suffering from anxiety, or struggling to feel confident and happy with yourself and your life.
Do you relate to any of the following?
- you constantly doubt yourself and can’t seem to make good decisions
- you worry whether you’ll ever have the ability to form a long-term intimate relationship with someone else
- you struggle to accept yourself and constantly criticise how you look, who you are, and what you are doing
- you feel depressed about your life and don’t seem to be able to move ahead personally or professionally
- you’re frightened of being judged or criticised by others because you’re gay or lesbian and feel awkward in social settings
- you feel stuck in the gay scene; you’re partying constantly and living in a cycle of big highs and even bigger lows
- you feel nervous and insecure when you’re not around gay people or in the gay community
- you use alcohol or drugs to get over your anxiety in social situations
If you’re relating to some of these statements you may find that you don’t get what you really want in life.
Your relationships don’t work out, you miss out on that job you really wanted, or you just can’t seem to feel good about yourself and your life. Maybe you’re endlessly partying and feel empty inside. Your relationships are fickle and superficial and you crave to have real connections with people. There has to be another way, but you’re not sure what it looks like or how to get there.
You don’t have to struggle alone. There is another way…
