[quote=Admin]Please look for these signs; you may be being discriminated against for being lgbtq while being treated for mental health problems: Discriminatory Attitudes: Mental health providers may hold biases against LGBTQ+ individuals that affect their treatment approach. For example, a therapist might avoid discussing a client’s sexual orientation or gender identity altogether, leading to feelings of invalidation and isolation. Misguided Therapeutic Techniques: Some therapists may employ techniques that aim to reinforce heteronormative standards without explicitly labeling them as conversion therapy. This could include promoting traditional relationship models while dismissing LGBTQ+ identities as problematic. Lack of Affirmative Care: Affirmative care is a model that recognizes and supports an individual’s sexual orientation and gender identity. When therapists do not provide this type of care due to personal beliefs or biases, it can result in emotional distress for clients seeking support. Me and AI have been doing our own research.
