‘A super comprehensive book’ MEG-JOHN BARKER
To be queer is to feel different – a felt sense that you don’t fit in. This can
be alienating and difficult and can lead to mental health challenges and lower
wellbeing throughout life. Using a range of therapeutic approaches, this
comprehensive, down-to-earth self-help workbook is designed to be your personal
mental health resource. It is filled with techniques and activities you can
read, tailor and ‘pick and mix’ to improve your wellbeing as a queer person, at
your pace.
The workbook is split into two sections – the first part focuses on laying the
groundwork by exploring identity, psychological wellbeing and mental health
experiences in order to situate mental health challenges in context and improve
overall mental health. The second half hones in on ideas and techniques
applicable to specific challenges and situations. It explores difficult topics
such as anxiety, low self-esteem, eating disorders, self-harm, suicidal
ideation, shame, trauma, substance abuse, sleep, and low mood, all while
maintaining a focus on your needs as a queer individual.
Empowering and reassuring, and written by an experienced queer mental health
practitioner, this one-of-a-kind workbook will help you to flourish as a queer
person and begin to overcome any challenge.
