Book excerpt: How can you build unshakable confidence and resilience in a world still filled with ignorance, inequality, and discrimination? The Queer and Transgender Resilience Workbook will teach you how to challenge internalized negative messages, handle stress, build a community of support, and embrace your true self. Resilience is a key ingredient for psychological health and wellness. It’s what gives people the psychological strength to cope with everyday stress, as well as major setbacks. For many people, stressful events may include job loss, financial problems, illness, natural disasters, medical emergencies, divorce, or the death of a loved one. But if you are queer or gender non-conforming, life stresses may also include discrimination in housing and health care, employment barriers, homelessness, family rejection, physical attacks or threats, and general unfair treatment and oppression—all of which lead to overwhelming feelings of hopelessness and powerlessness. So, how can you gain resilience in a society that is so often toxic and unwelcoming? In this important workbook, you’ll discover how to cultivate the key components of resilience: holding a positive view of yourself and your abilities; knowing your worth and cultivating a strong sense of self-esteem; effectively utilizing resources; being assertive and creating a support community; fostering hope and growth within yourself, and finding the strength to help others. Once you know how to tap into your personal resilience, you’ll have an unlimited well you can draw from to navigate everyday challenges. By learning to challenge internalized negative messages and remove obstacles from your life, you can build the resilience you need to embrace your truest self in an imperfect world.

Book excerpt: Historically, mental health clinical research has taken inadequate account of psychosocial disorders experienced by those who identify as sexual and gender minorities, however, researchers have recently begun developing and adapting evidence-based mental health treatment approaches for use with these groups. Handbook of Evidence-Based Mental Health Practice with Sexual and Gender Minorities offers a comprehensive array of evidence-based approaches for treating sexual and gender minority clients' mental health concerns. The interventions detailed here span a diverse spectrum of populations, including sexual and gender minority youth, transgender populations, same-sex couples, sexual minority parents, and bisexual individuals. Chapters also address numerous mental and behavioral health problems, including anxiety disorders, depression, substance abuse, trauma, body image disturbance, and sexual health. In addition to an overview of the research evidence supporting each clinical presentation and approach, chapters contain practical how-to guidance for therapists to use in their clinical practice. This book reflects a true integration of the best of sexual and gender minority research and the best of evidence-based practice research, presented by the leading experts in the field. As such it is essential reading for mental health professionals who work with these groups, as well as trainees in social work, counseling, and clinical psychology.

Book excerpt: Gender Dysphoria, better known as Gender Identity Disorder, can be confusing not only for those experiencing it, but also for those around them. Whether it's you or someone in your life who is going through a tough time while sorting through gender identity issues, this book aims to help you better understand the situation and be able to better cope with the resulting problems that often accompany Gender Dysphoria. In this book, you will come to understand what causes Gender Dysphoria, how to recognize the common symptoms, and how the condition can be identified or diagnosed. You will then learn what different options you have for dealing with the situation, which of course depends on your specific individual scenario, whether you're an adult making a personal decision, or whether you're a parent of a child with Gender Dysphoria and you need help figuring out what course of action should be taken next. You will also be introduced to strategies that you can implement at home as well as potential options for medical intervention if that's the path you decide to take. Furthermore, you will become familiarized with laws protecting transgender rights, which will help protect you or your loved one from unnecessary discrimination. And last but not least, I have included a chapter with 15 important pointers that you can refer to whenever you deem necessary. NOTE: It's important to add that this book was not written to judge you or to persuade you to take one path versus another. It's simply designed to help you better understand what Gender Dysphoria is, and to become more informed about what options you have.
