Hey gents, in this episode, I talk with Alex Guthrie, MFT, a San Diego-based psychotherapist and one of the most loving gay men I know. We dive into the coming out process, and Alex shares his insights on what keeps us in the closet, how to come out and why gay men need each other now more than ever. We also chat about:
Fear of rejection from our tribe
Shame as “The Great Disconnector”
Coming out as a strength and act of self love
Best practices for coming out
Coming out later in life
