Hearing negative things about being gay/queer when you were a child or teen may have caused minority stress – the damaging impact of being judged and condemned for not fitting in with the majority culture. We’ll explore what minority stress is, how it was established in us through childhood experiences, how it plays out in our adult life and how to heel. We’ll share experiences, meditate to ground and centre and visualise meeting the inner child to bring them a message of love.
