For a couple to feel connected again they will need to know why the affair occurred. This is powerful growth work for both partners. Here are 4 reasons why cheating and affairs happen. • • • #AffairRecovery #Affair #Infidelity #Unfaithful #Monogamy #Nonmonogamy #Betrayal #RebuildingTrust #CouplesTherapy #CouplesCounseling #LGBTQTherapy #LGBTQTherapist #GayTherapy #GayTherapist #QueerTherapy #AffirmingTherapy #Betrayed #BetrayalTrauma #RelationshipTrauma #RelationshipRepair
People often ask me, “Why do you always focus on Christianity and gayness?” This is usually followed by, “In our church, all are welcome here, but we can’t turn a blind eye to sin.” (As if that’s a party anyone would want to come to) I would like remind folks, that people are ACTUALLY dying from that rejection. Young people, and young at heart people, try to kill themselves over the church’s rejection and judgement. This is not merely identity politics, but an attempt to create real healing from that dangerous message. To all those churches and people who have seen the power of Christ’s agape love, fully affirming love, without the “but,” you are SAVING LIVES. I got no time for “love the sinner, hate the sin.” That’s bull*hit. Love period. #gaytherapist #queertherapy #progressivechristianity #christianity #progressivechristian #exvangelical #christian #jesus #affirmingchurch #lgbtq #lgbt #gaychristian #inclusivechurch #queerchristian #affirmingchristians #love #church #affirming #lgbtchristian #religioustrauma #gay #lgbtcommunity #postevangelical
Everything we try to do in life is harder when we are mean to ourselves. It’s like being stuck in 3rd gear on a flat road. Life gets easier when we have more support, and that includes support from ourselves. If you're wondering how you can do that, check out our free 30 email course called 30 Days To Feeling Good About You to help you build a better relationship with yourself at the link in our bio. • • • #Compassion #SelfCompassion #InnerCritic #GayInnerCritic #LGBTQChildhood #LGBTQInnerCritic #SelfWorth #LGBTQSelfWorth #SelfCriticism #InnerCritic #InnerCriticBeGone #SelfValidation #GayTherapy #GayMentalHealth #GayTherapist #LGBTQTherapist #LGBTQMentalHealth #GayInnerCritic #CaliforniaTherapist #NewYorkTherapist #DCTherapist

Repairing distrust in relationships requires deep listening and talking. Our LGBTQ+ therapists understand that shame and blame are not the best way for couples to recover from infidelity. Our job is to help you reestablish trust and safety in the relationship. We show each partner how to share the most vulnerable parts of themselves in a way that feels good and permanently establishes a new habit of communicating. • • • #AffairRecovery #Affair #Infidelity #Unfaithful #Monogamy #Nonmonogamy #Betrayal #RebuildingTrust #CouplesTherapy #CouplesCounseling #LGBTQTherapy #LGBTQTherapist #GayTherapy #GayTherapist #QueerTherapy #AffirmingTherapy #Betrayed #BetrayalTrauma #RelationshipTrauma #RelationshipRepair
A couple headshots for some private practice work I’m dipping my toes into. Do I look empathic? 🤓 Thanks for the photos, @marstarmpls ! #headshots #therapist #therapy #professional #lgbtq #gaytherapist #gay #newadventures #career
Photo Redo- Years ago when I left London at 21, I was broken. Sick and traumatized both physically and mentally, this has been a journey of a lifetime to come back and face some of the inner demons of my past. To reclaim pieces of me that were left scattered on these streets of rainy London. I am so grateful for this experience and happy to acknowledge the personal growth that has taken place since that shy and naive Mormon missionary of the past. London- I thought my mission was to reclaim pieces of me that were forever stuck here, versions of myself that were frozen in time. Now, I realize that you will always have a piece of my heart and will always feel like home. . . . . . #london #londonlife #londoncity #gaymormon #gaymormons #gaytherapistsofinstagram #gaytherapy #gaytherapist #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters

2002-2024: “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” Rumi Looking back and considering the healing aspects of my inner child, I remind myself that in order to make impact you first have to find ways that impact your individual experience. Only then can we show up as our full selves. Found these random headshots from so long ago and one now. I like the person I’ve become. I wish I could go back in time and tell the younger versions here that they are going to love their life even as worst or hardest. #therapist #psychology #gaytherapist #lcsw #socialwork #keynotespeaker

Unfortunately, feelings of loneliness and isolation are really common in the gay community despite the focus on love and relationships. Sometimes you might struggle with making connections at all, and other times you may feel “alone in a crowded room” because it’s so hard to forge true connections. Let’s explore how you can constructively deal with these feelings and share a life you’re excited to live! • • • #Loneliness #FeelingLonely #AloneTime #CoreBeliefs #InnerBeliefs #LGBTQLoneliness #FeelingAlone #LonelyTogether #SelfCompassion #SelfAcceptance #SelfWorth #FeelingWorthy #LGBTQSelfWorth #SelfCriticism #SelfValidation #GayTherapy #GayMentalHealth #GayTherapist #LGBTQTherapist #LGBTQMentalHealth #CaliforniaTherapist #NewYorkTherapist #DCTherapist
Yes, you can practice softening your shyness and building your courage and self-confidence. There are many good ways to do that. But it’s unlikely that you will ever completely delete your shy temperament. So why not accept that it is a part of you, like the color of your hair? About a third of shy people are born that way and the rest acquire it as kids. Making new friends and going to parties would be easier if you weren’t shy, but we all have parts of ourselves that make some things tougher to do. Some of us have brains that make it harder to solve quadratic equations. Others have body chemistry that makes drawing a picture not so easy. It's okay to be shy and it's okay to not want to change that about yourself. There are even benefits to being shy - Shy people often are better listeners, more insightful and empathic, and appear more trustworthy and less threatening to others. • • • #Shyness #ImShy #Shy #Compassion #SelfCompassion #InnerCritic #SelfWorth #SelfCriticism #InnerCriticBeGone #SelfValidation #GayTherapy #GayMentalHealth #GayTherapist #LGBTQTherapist #LGBTQMentalHealth #CaliforniaTherapist #NewYorkTherapist #DCTherapist #SelfAcceptance #PositiveSelfTalk #SelfCompassionJourney #LoveYourselfFirst
Here’s the secret that most good LGBTQ affirming therapists deeply understand: compassion is the engine of positive change. Compassion for ourselves does not make us self centered. In fact it has the opposite effect. It makes us more empathic towards others. • • • #Compassion #SelfCompassion #InnerCritic #GayInnerCritic #LGBTQChildhood #LGBTQInnerCritic #SelfWorth #LGBTQSelfWorth #SelfCriticism #InnerCritic #InnerCriticBeGone #SelfValidation #GayTherapy #GayMentalHealth #GayTherapist #LGBTQTherapist #LGBTQMentalHealth #GayInnerCritic #CaliforniaTherapist #NewYorkTherapist #DCTherapist

These negative thoughts are coming from your Inner Critic. I want you to start thinking of your Inner Critic as a separate individual inside of you. The Critic’s job is to judge you and keep you small. While the Inner Critic is universally destructive and squeezes joy from many lives, its intention is to be a helpful force. It is there to protect. It shames you in an attempt to shield you from experiencing even worse humiliation from external sources. Unfortunately, while trying to help, it becomes abusive. • • • #Compassion #SelfCompassion #InnerCritic #GayInnerCritic #LGBTQChildhood #LGBTQInnerCritic #SelfWorth #LGBTQSelfWorth #SelfCriticism #InnerCritic #InnerCriticBeGone #SelfValidation #GayTherapy #GayMentalHealth #GayTherapist #LGBTQTherapist #LGBTQMentalHealth #GayInnerCritic #CaliforniaTherapist #NewYorkTherapist #DCTherapist

Most of us thought we would come out to our parents and then be done with the whole uncomfortable topic of coming out. Little did we know that we were starting a sometimes awkward process that would continue for the rest of our lives. A lifetime of living slightly under the radar can lead to a lifetime of mild depression or anxiety. What small step can you make today to take up just a little more space in the world? • • • #ComingOut #ComingOutStory #ComingOutOfTheCloset #TakeUpSpace #TakingUpSpace #SelfLove #SelfCompassion #SelfCompassionJourney #LoveYourselfFirst #InnerCritic #SelfWorth #FeelingWorthy #SelfCriticism #InnerCritic #InnerCriticBeGone #SelfValidation #GayTherapy #GayMentalHealth #GayTherapist #LGBTQTherapist #CaliforniaTherapist #NewYorkTherapist #DCTherapist

When your Inner Critic pops up, ask yourself: "Is there anything about this critique that is true?" If so, own it. Acknowledge that truth and let the sadness or loss come up. Then respond with something like: • "Maybe I should be more X, but today I am doing the best I can." • "Maybe I should do X, but I need more help to do that." • "Maybe I am a little X, but I am working on this." • "Yes, I do X sometimes, but not all the time." With these responses you are engaging the defense. You are letting the Critic get heard but then gently redirecting your focus to a more compassionate viewpoint. • • • #SelfConfidence #SelfCompassion #GaySelfLove #LGBTQSelfLove #SelfWorth #FeelingWorthy #LGBTQSelfWorth #SelfCriticism #InnerCritic #InnerCriticBeGone #SelfValidation #GayTherapy #GayMentalHealth #GayTherapist #LGBTQTherapist #LGBTQMentalHealth #GayInnerCritic #CaliforniaTherapist #NewYorkTherapist #DCTherapist
The Inner Critic's job is to judge you and keep you small. The Critic believes the best path to receiving love and support is to follow a rigid and limiting set of rules. Those rules, which were helpful when you were a child, are no longer useful to you as an adult.

Shame is a near universal experience for LGBTQ people. Working with a LGBTQ therapist is a profound way to heal from shame. I founded the Gay Therapy Center in 2015 because I knew from my own experience that it can be especially healing and powerful to work with a therapist who shares part of your own LGBTQ identity. • • • #Shame #SexualShame #InternalizedHomophobia #LGBTQTherapist #LGBTQTherapy #GayTherapy #GayTherapist #GayMentalHealth #Healing #InnerChild #InnerChildWork #InnerChildHealing #SelfTalk #NegativeSelfTalk #SelfLove #SelfCompassion #SelfWorth #FeelingWorthy #LGBTQSelfWorth #SelfCriticism #InnerCritic #InnerCriticBeGone #SelfValidation #GayTherapy #GayMentalHealth #GayTherapist #LGBTQTherapist #LGBTQMentalHealth #GayInnerCritic #CaliforniaTherapist shrinkit.stealit's profile picture
What does a "yes" feel like in your body? Where do you feel it? How about a "no"? It can be easier to decipher how we actually feel already know what yes and no feel like in our bodies. Try to notice what comes up when you feel a strong sense of "yes" or "no". • • • #SelfCompassion #SelfCompassionJourney #LoveYourselfFirst #InnerCritic #SelfWorth #FeelingWorthy #SelfCriticism #InnerCritic #InnerCriticBeGone #SelfValidation #GayTherapy #GayMentalHealth #GayTherapist #LGBTQTherapist #CaliforniaTherapist #NewYorkTherapist #DCTherapist #Somatics #SomaticParctice #BodyWisdom #EmotionalRegulation #EmotionalResilience

Three important life changing choices… + Choose people, who choose you. For those aligned with your energy you won’t have to chase, beg or change yourself. You will choose, but also be chosen. Chasing, begging or changing will only invite much chaos into your life — and in the process, you’ll lose much time — and perhaps miss the chance to meet those aligned with you. + Choose yourself. The first step to freedom, and a nourishing life is to start choosing yourself. Stop waiting to get picked, you don’t need permission from anyone — the moment you choose yourself and realise this is a vital life step, the moment you can create a life which works for you. Step into your leadership, and choose yourself. + Choose love. Love is the greatest connector — both to yourself, and every other human on this planet. Invite it into your life, and choose it everyday. Choose to love, hold compassion and step into the light — even when you are invited to hate. Hold love as a shield in a chaotic and deeply sick society. Love heals, connects and brings you home. What will you choose? Share what resonates… With love, Zack . . #therapistsofinstagram #chooselove #chooseyourself #choosepeople #choosepeoplewhochooseyou #lifeadvice #selflove #compassion #conscious #lifetips #gaytherapist #gaycoach #coachesofinstagram #nomadlife #importanttopics #lifeadvice #bebetter #aplacetobehuman #thehumanexperience

Gay men are a minority which means we’ve got fewer potential mates. You will run out of potential matches if you limit yourself to one app. So try a few. If your focus is hook ups then it’s better to spend time on: • Grindr • Sniffies • Scruff Tinder is somewhere in between a hook up app and a dating app. • • • #DatingTips #GayDating #OnlineDating #OnlineDatingTips #GayOnlineDating #GayDatingApp #DatingApp #HookupApp #DatingApps #Hookups #Grindr #GrindrFail #GrindrProblems #TinderNightmares #ScruffApp #ScruffGay #RelationshipCounseling #RelationshipTherapy #RelationshipFacts #RelationshipSkills #CouplesCommunication #CommunicationSkills #GayTherapy #GayMentalHealth #GayTherapist #LGBTQTherapist #LGBTQMentalHealth #CaliforniaTherapist #NewYorkTherapist #DCTherapist
