As a result of homophobia, transphobia and minority stress amongst other factors, there is a higher rate of mental health difficulties and conditions in the LGBT+ community compared to the general population. Also, LGBT+ individuals are more likely to be hate crimed and experience trauma in their lifetime so the need for psychological support and therapy is high. However, straight therapists often worry about whether they should work with a gay client or not because of the differences between them. In this clinical psychology podcast episode, you’ll explain why straight therapists should definitely work with gay clients and most importantly what should therapists know working with gay male clients. This is all about increasing awareness and helping the therapy to be more successful. If you enjoy learning about clinical psychology, minority stress and trauma then this is a great episode for you.
