LGBT Issues
Finding the support you need for issues arising from LGBT identities can make a big difference to your wellbeing.
Sexual identity & mental health
Issues surrounding mental health are not dictated by our sexual orientation or gender. However, for those of us who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered, there are potential sources for trauma due to the discrimination and homophobic attitudes within society.
Fear and confusion about ‘coming out’ and its subsequent effect upon your relationships is but one issue that can leave lasting damage to you self-esteem. If you are an LGBT individual then you may have experienced emotional trauma due to a variety of situations and sources. Whether these sources of psychological stress are historic or current, they have the potential to cause real suffering.
This has the potential to lead to further problems such as depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. It is therefore incredibly important to find the right help to resolve the issues that have arisen within your life as they can have a profound effect on your overall happiness and the choices you make.
How LGBT issues are addressed with online counselling and psychotherapy
Depression, anxiety and low self-esteem can stem from various sources of stress and unhappiness. With the help of a trained online counsellor or therapist you can identify and explore how certain events in your life have affected you. Issues surrounding sexual identity, associated stigma, relationships, and living with sexually transmitted illnesses can filter into how we view ourselves.
With help from an online therapist and the non-judgemental and confidential space they create, you can regain your sense of self-worth. This will enable you to learn how to build a stronger foundation from which to move forward from past problems that may have been holding you back.
Through this process of understanding the complexities of your emotions, your therapist or counsellor can offer strategies that are unique to you. This can improve your mental health and support you in managing distressing situations or emotions. Online therapy sessions can also be of great benefit to couples, and the therapist can provide a space in which both you and your partner are able to gain the support you need to improve your relationship.
