DIVERSITY CONCERNS
Race, class, and sexual orientation/identity issues can cause confusion, guilt, and anxiety. You might also experience:
depressed mood
low interest in normal life activities at work, school, or with friends
feelings of shame and/or worthlessness
hiding aspects of yourself or your life from significant others
expectations from yourself and others to behave in ways that feel incongruent or untrue to who you really are
Everyone deserves to feel accepted and loved for who we really are. Prejudice and social convention can have a huge impact on our sense of belonging and worth in the world. Counselling and psychotherapy can help you to:
find and engage in social groups that support you
reduce the frequency and intensity of symptoms
improve emotional and psychological functioning
share who you are with others
increase your sense of closeness and importance in relationships
