About Course

In this lesson, Agnieszka gives an overview of how people wanting to move away from an LGBT identity are finding it increasingly hard to do so, with psychological bodies deleting their articles related to ‘ego-dystonic sexual orientation’. She also mentions the attitudes towards LGBT and changes in sexual orientation throughout history, ‘conversion therapy’ bans, the understanding people have of homosexuality and ‘conversion therapy’, affirmative therapy vs. change allowing therapy, and the deterioration effect in psychotherapy related to change allowing therapies, affirmative therapies, and other therapies. She gives her best advice on how to navigate these therapies.
