Queer and trans men face unique and challenging circumstances, including homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, and rejection from family. In addition, the lingering effects of bigotry, discrimination, and hate crimes can have a traumatizing and devastating impact on both body and mind. With this compassionate guide, Thawer offers powerful skills to help queer men heal the pain of trauma and thrive authentically in a world that often misunderstands or marginalizes their identity and experiences.

Vikram Kolmannskog, Professor at the Norwegian Gestalt Therapy Institute, says: “Reading this guide is like going on a journey with a well-traveled friend holding your hand. The exercises draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and Gestalt therapy. The vignettes reflect a diversity with regards to race, sexuality, gender, age, HIV status, and more that I applaud.”

Rahim Thawer is a clinical supervisor, facilitator, public speaker, university instructor, and host of The CBT Dive podcast. His clinical practice and writing explore the intersection of systemic oppression and mental health, while also honoring innovation in queer relationships.
