On May 23rd 2020 (I accidentally say June in the intro), I was invited to speak at the inaugural webinar for Strong Support, a UK-based organization for Muslims around the world who struggle with unwanted same-sex lust/same-sex attraction. The founder and director. Ali Asad Jaffery, asked me to speak about the trends in therapy for unwanted same-sex attraction/behavior. Due to the length, I am splitting this webinar into separate videos.
Please note: if you are new to my channel, I am a Christian psychotherapist, but I work with individuals of various faiths, including Muslim men working through unwanted same-sex eroticization. As Ali mentioned, there are far too few Muslims trained in effective and ethical therapeutic approaches to sexual struggles. So, I appreciate Strong Support seeking to partner with non-Muslims to help equip their community to better support their members that face great distress and stigma over their sexual attractions.
If you are watching this as a non-Muslim, you may still find benefit in this webinar especially since this part is about the shared history of homosexuality and counseling in terms that should clear up a variety of myths and misunderstandings.
