It's obviously best to stay away from emotionally charged & shaming words as this tends to increase defensiveness & emotional distance, & also decreases relational trust & support which is absolutely necessary for getting things worked through. Groups such as queer nation & others who have at times focused on outing those they viewed as closeted, have probably done much to de-emotionalize these terms for some, but not for all. Even some of those who have long since been outed can still struggle with some of these terms, especially when they are trying to leave this lifestyle.

    Nature & nurture theories, reparative therapy, & reorientation are some of the issues that need to be worked through in counseling / counselling.

    We offer professional Christian counselling therapy services to help work out healing for the common struggles that most ex homosexuals will go through.
