Description
Its time to give queer minds the attention they deserve.
As a non-binary and queer psychotherapist, Katy Lees knows how crucial it is to feel seen and supported as a queer person with mental health challenges. Drawing on their own experiences and featuring interviews with other queer mental health advocates and experts, this book offers insight on everything from the psychiatric system, navigating eating disorders as a queer person, autistic queer liberation, radical community care, as well as dreaming, healing, and navigating hardship.
Filled with joy and hope, but not shying away from the challenges, this book brings the lived experiences of queer people into focus and gives practical advice on finding comfort and connection. It features interviews with Sage Stephanou, Emily Waldron, Gem Kennedy, Jess Sprengle, LJ Potter, Lucy Fox, Stef Sanjati and more.
