Getting to the Couch
GTTC Season 2, Episode 2 Part1: Challenges to the LGBTQ+ Community
What happens when the very spaces meant to heal become places of uncertainty? When the professionals trained to help become sources of hesitation?
Welcome back to Getting to the Couch. In this episode, we're peeling back the layers on a troubling reality: mental health care and medical treatment are becoming increasingly complicated terrain for LGBTQ+ individuals. We're exploring how current socio-political forces are reshaping the landscape of care itself, leaving many wondering—can I trust the person sitting across from me?
This is part one of our deep dive into the challenges facing the LGBTQ+ community right now. So settle in, because what we're about to discuss matters—not just for those directly affected, but for anyone who believes healthcare should be a safe harbor, not another complication.
Thanks for listening!
I hope this episode helped you in getting to therapy and utilizing therapy effectively.
