“Am I Queer Enough?” An in-person queer-led support group for adults with anxiety or OCD surrounding their gender or sexual orientation

“Am I Queer Enough?” is an ongoing psychoeducation and skillbuilding group for people with anxiety or OCD surrounding their sexual orientation or gender. This group is ideal for those who are questioning their gender identity or sexual orientation and looking to garner peer support, receive psychoeducation, and learn skills from Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This group will aim to provide:

– A supportive community of queer and trans folks who are also navigating uncertainty surrounding their sexual orientation or gender
– Psychoeducation regarding anxiety, OCD, sexuality, and gender from a queer psychotherapist
– ERP and ACT skills to increase acceptance of uncertainty and build up distress tolerance
– In-the-moment coping skills for rumination spells regarding sexual orientation or gender
– Troubleshooting for existing coping skills/building awareness of common pitfalls in ERP and ACT

We require a minimum of 8 weeks’ commitment from all participants.
