Gay and Lesbian Issues
- Most of our gay or lesbian clients seek us out about problems having little to do with their sexual preference. They seek therapy for the same reasons heterosexual people seek it - for depression, anxiety, other personal problems, to recover from a life crisis like a broken relationship, or for help with couple or family issues.
There are, however, also some issues more likely related to their life experiences as gay or lesbian individuals, which may become the topic of concern in psychotherapy.Unique Concerns
- Some of these unique concerns and topics frequently addressed in therapy are:
- ·The process of “coming out”--differences experienced by males, females, and bisexuals; coming out at different stages of life; acceptance versus attempts to change sexual orientation
·Gay and lesbian relationships—acceptance, couple issues, intimacy vs. isolation; coupling vs. multiple encounters; fidelity; maintenance and preservation of couples; violence in gay couples
·Family relationships--issues for parents, children, and spouses
·AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases--education; psychological support for people with AIDS (PWAs) and their lovers and families
·Transsexual and intersexual issues
·Uncertainty about sexual orientation.
·Deciding whether and when to start a family is a dilemma many couples (and singles) face. Issues involved in having children can be much more complex for individuals who are gay or lesbian.
