Positive Support for Gender Diversity
I am committed to providing support to people dealing with stress and other problems that result from living in a transphobic society, including:
Counseling and education.
Hypnotism to decrease stress and improve relaxation and self-esteem.
Hypnotism for pre- and post- operative and medical procedures, to decrease pain and promote healing.
Great Resources: Counseling Competency Guidelines & Other Information
You deserve trans-competent, respectful treatment from ALL your service providers. However, all too often job and school counselors, medical professionals, social workers, and other human service providers are not well trained in this area. And you may not be aware guidelines exist to help these professionals do a better job of meeting your needs!
The resources can provide you and your service providers with appropriate guidelines for care. This material is designed to be used by many types of human service providers.
