Navigating a world that can be unsafe and dehumanizing for LGBTQ+ people is traumatic. Whether childhood abuse, parental rejection, religious alienation, or societal discrimination, the types of trauma we experience is often related to our queer identities. Past trauma often upends our present mental health, relationships, and sexual functioning. Anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, and chronic illness are common with trauma. Traumatic experiences also affect our ability to feel safe & secure with ourselves and others. As a result, we may struggle with intimacy, boundaries, co-dependency, worthiness, vulnerability, trust, & shame.
