LGBTQ Teens and the Coming Out Process
As LGBTQ adolescents come to terms with their own sexual orientation and gender identity they find themselves exposed to the social constructs of a straight privileged environment, which can often create pressures of internalized homophobia. This lessened self esteem creates a view of the world that lacks safety, interrupts developmental phases, and deepens pressure to “ fit in” As professionals working with this population an understanding can be cultivated as to how biases and agendas develop and how the pervasiveness of these constructs influences the therapeutic alliance. Participants will explore how these constructs of gay stigma develop, examine the strength of building self-esteem in gay youth, and learn effective tools for relieving the stress of internalized homophobia in gay adolescents.
