This post delves deeply into how hard anxiety hits those of us who have it and also how the LGBTQ+ community is hit harder.

Whether in the LGBTQ community or not, you can have anxiety. But those in the LGBTQIA+ community are so much more likely to be adversely affected by mental health struggles, and being a gay cis man, Patrick Tully understands and has been trained in evidence-based modalities that will help you feel better, and he will listen to you. Patrick’s methods are not checkbox-based or impersonal. They are highly personalized and tailored for your needs.

LGBTQ Affirmative Therapy is naturally combined into every therapy technique when working with people within the LGBTQIA+ community. Patrick believes and research continues to show you cannot separate affirmative therapy from therapy treatment as lived experience must be validated.

Anxiety manifests in many ways. It can be generalized, in that many situations can trigger anxiety. It can be a phobia of a specific event or feared object. Social anxiety is a specific form of anxiety that makes it hard for people to socialize. If someone has social anxiety but no other form of anxiety, that means that anxiety would not deeply impact other parts of the person’s life.

Separation Anxiety is another form of anxiety where someone has a fear of leaving someone specific. They may fear something bad will happen if they do not.

Anxiety can be managed, no matter what the form. It feels like it cannot be, because of the fight-or-flight reaction of the nervous system wanting to escape the situation. Patrick Tully, a Los Angeles therapist, can help those with anxiety alleviate their suffering.

Anxiety is a real issue that deserves real attention, and these various forms can feel embarrassing but they should not be. They are often just overactive responses in our brain from just the way we have formed habits. We need to alleviate stigma and realize more people have anxiety than we think. Patrick knows it is easier said than done.

Business consulting is not uncommon and LGBTQIA+ Business Consulting consists of important factors to consider when running a business. We want to respect people as they truly are, and thank you, whether you are a part of the LGBTQ and gay community yourself or are an ally, you have made the right choice to read about consulting. Many businesses consult, but they speak about it too much rather than make their employees feel included in the continued effort of diversity, equity, and inclusion. There are also many models used by consultants where conversations can take place between employees and allow employees to be heard. This allows for productive communication to occur, where otherwise no communication would occur. It is so thrilling to see the change happen within a department! When someone just assumes an intention for so long and then they realize they have been assuming, it opens up the dialogue for productive change!

We live in a world with intense social pressures to look, feel, and act in very specific ways. It is often these pressures (combined with trauma, anxiety, and other mental health struggles) that push people into developing eating disorders, like anorexia and bulimia. When we obsess over our body image, we often find that our reality changes and we create these ideals that are impossible to attain. This may lead us to skipping meals, reducing calories, or finding way to maintain the body weight that we think we need to be happy.

Eating disorders can affect anyone, of any sexuality or background. But they are more common in the LGBTQ+ community, and especially common in the trans community. That is why it is so important for trans men, trans women, and the people that love them to pay attention to the signs and symptoms of eating disorders in order to identify them early and help them receive the help they deserve.

Why Would Eating Disorders Be More Common in Trans Adults?

Trans people spend much of their lives realizing that they are presenting in the wrong body. They are often envisioning the way they were meant to look and feel. This hyperfocus on their appearance – both before and after transition – means that there is rarely a time when they are not thinking about their body image.

Similarly, post-transition there is also a pressure to feel like there has been a transformation. When someone is able to finally present as a woman, for example, they often feel eyes on them to look the way women are expected to look. This is all during a time when there are often traumas, stigmas, and other social issues that make the pressures even greater, all while taking hormone supplements that can lead to emotional changes.

Finally, people that have suffered through bullying, anxiety, trauma, and violence are also more likely to develop eating disorders – and we live in a world where this is an unfortunate reality for so many of the trans people we adore.

Psychotherapy for the Trans Community

Pre- and post-transition is often a time where trans youth and adults are thinking about their physical body and the way they appear. But it is important to remember now to forget that adapting to change and finding happiness also come from within. Therapy is immensely helpful as a way to find more contentment with yourself and your life, as you become more true to who. Licensed in California, Texas, and Florida, I am able to speak to anyone that needs to gain more control over their mental health, and I am local to the Los Angeles, Culver City, and Pasadena area for those that would prefer to work with someone close by.
