Trans-negative messages can feel like an emotional roller coaster from one loop of trans people being non-existent to the other of them being ‘not trans enough’ unless they fill certain stereotypes and ideals.

$150Power Dynamics in the Facilitating Environment
Melissa Dellens, MA
6CEs
Community psychology emerged in reaction to clinical psychotherapy; with a fervent belief that if mental health problems are related to the misuse of power at systemic and institutional levels then individual psychotherapy is not the answer.

Though clinicians are expanding their competence and knowledge for providing gender affirming care, there are still gaps in the training and research for working with trans and gender nonbinary (TGNB) individuals.

Homestudy
Self-compassion is the act of “relating to oneself with care and support when we suffer”. Though little self-compassion research has explicitly focused on trans and gender nonbinary (TGNB) participants, research has shown significant benefit of strengthening self-compassion to increase well-being and the relationship with one’s body as well as building resilience to effectively manage adverse experiences and emotional vulnerability.
