159. Reclaim Your Queer Identity Through Self-Compassion (with Sam Fogarty)

Many gay men grow up internalizing social norms that dictate how they should act, love, or present themselves—distorting their sense of self and making it harder to connect authentically with others. But we can begin to heal when we embrace radical acceptance, challenge outdated narratives, and learn to show up for ourselves with compassion.In this episode, Sam Fogarty, a licensed therapist and clinical supervisor at myTherapyNYC, joins us to explore the power of affirming, authenticity-centered therapy and how we can begin to unlearn shame by making space for a more expansive, self-loving version of ourselves.Related Episodes:Listen to Episode 121.
