Below are a few books & links related to ex homosexual issues that may be helpful as a supplement to counseling / counselling. Additional book list resources can be obtained through the links & phone numbers below to New Direction, Exodus, Desert Stream, Living Waters & Leanne Payne. These organizations & books address gays, lesbians, bisexuality / bisexualism, omnisexual & transgendered issues. Some of the terms one may hear from relatives & old friends that won't be very helpful in trying to get things worked through, but one needs to be prepared for, include being called homos, fags / faggots (faggotry), sodomites (sodomy) or effeminate. Gayness or homosexualism are twists that may be thrown in there as well.
It's
obviously best for others to stay away from emotionally charged & shaming
words as this tends to increase defensiveness & emotional distance, & also
decreases relational trust & support which is absolutely necessary for
getting things worked through. Groups such as queer nation & others who
have at times focused on outing those they viewed as closeted, have
probably done much to de-emotionalize these terms for some, but not for all.
Even some of those who have long since been outed can still struggle with
some of these terms Nature & nurture theories, reparative therapy, & reorientation are some of the issues that need to be worked through in counseling / counselling.
We offer professional Christian counseling / counselling therapy services to help work out healing for the common struggles that most ex homosexuals will go through. Phone counseling / counselling,
Online audio / video, email
or LiveType Chat Instant Messaging etherapy sessions are available for
working through issues as an alternative to the standard
