Exploring The Intersectionality Of LGBTQ Identities In Therapy
Identities can be intersectional. For instance, a person could have multiple identities influencing their experience. For members of the LGBTQ community, these intersecting identities often include gender identity, sexual orientation, race or ethnicity, disability status, class, and more.
Navigating these various identities can be difficult as individuals may feel like they don't fit anywhere. This is why it is essential for therapists to recognize and address the intersectionality of LGBTQ identities in therapy.
