Trust and confidentiality are vital to the therapeutic relationship and process. For parents of transgender and non-binary youth, this can sometimes leave them feeling "out of the loop." Before their child came out, they came in. As a result, parents often find themselves behind and may feel confused, overwhelmed, and sometimes scared about what this new information means about their child and future. In an attempt to close the knowledge gap, parents often rely on asking questions but are often met with anger from their children and sometimes feel shut out.
Informed by fifteen years of clinical experience working with over one-thousand clients and my personal experiences as a trans person, I can help parents better understand the experiences of gender dysphoria and how dysphoria can lead to anxiety and depression, and how in an attempt to cope with dysphoria, many youths turn to isolation and disengagement.
By better understanding and closing the knowledge gap, parents can better communicate with their kids and feel better equipped to decide how to best support their children. I also focus on tending to the psychological and emotional needs of parents who may feel overwhelmed and isolated and experience feelings of loss.
