Accepting that your son is gay can be a struggle for some mums. Therefore the Gay Hypnotherapist Essex is here not just for people who are lesbian gay, bi or trans. The gay therapist is here too for those of you who care about someone who is an LGBT person but feels somehow that it is a problem for you but you don’t want it to be.
There are many reasons Mum might find it difficult.
Quite often the difficulty for mums is coming to terms with the fact that what they had hoped and dreamed for their son is not now going to happen. This can lead to disappointment or great sadness. In a young person mum’s worry that “it’s just a phase” and “should I let him get on with it, but what if he doesn’t grow out of it? What do I do then?” “Has he been influenced by someone?”, “Has something gone wrong?”, “Is it because he’s shy?”
Where her son has previously been dating girls, mum can be a bit confused. Of course if her son had all the outward appearances of being happily heterosexual she would be confused – not having had access to the internal and emotional experiences of her son who was perhaps only gradually moving toward an understanding of his sexuality.
Less worldly mums can worry about sex and stigma. They worry about whether their gay sons might catch diseases or be hated by everyone and this is quite understandably a distressing thought for them, and often the result of an insular world view, a lack of awareness or of interaction with gay people.
Perhaps speak to someone with personal experience
Whatever the reason for the difficulty there is help available. You can find counsellors and hypnotherapists all around the country who’d be glad to help. But you might decide that you want to speak to someone who you know has personal experience of these or similar issues, then maybe I can help. And it doesn’t matter where you are in the UK because, I can provide sessions using Skype, Zoom or FaceTime if you cannot reach my therapy room here in Chigwell, Essex.
You can contact me by telephone or email to book a session or consultation.
