77. "It's Just a Phase"

As a therapist with LGBTQ+ clients, and as an LGBTQ+ person myself, I often hear the concern presented (usually by parents) that it's "just a phase." The majority of the time, this is coming from parents or loved ones who are worried about their child/family member, and who only want what is best for them. So let's discuss the implications of what would happen even if something was "just a phase" so we can figure out how to best show love and support for everyone.
