A Privilege to Read, a Pleasure to Endorse





"Professor Tanya Byron's book has left an indelible mark on me. It's a super comprehensive book that covers a wide range of topics related to mental health and wellbeing for LGBTQ+ individuals.

Dominic Davies, another reviewer, echoes my sentiments, stating that the book completely bowled him over. He praises its comprehensive nature and calls it a valuable resource for anyone seeking information and support.

Meg-John Barker adds her perspective, emphasizing that being queer is not just about feeling different but also about experiencing alienation and difficulty. This can lead to mental health challenges and lower overall well-being throughout life. However, this comprehensive self-help workbook is designed to be a personal mental health resource for LGBTQ+ individuals. It offers a range of therapeutic approaches and activities that readers can read, tailor, and pick and mix to improve their well-being at their own pace.

The workbook is divided into two sections. The first section focuses on laying the groundwork by exploring identity, psychological well-being, and mental health experiences. It aims to contextualize mental health challenges within the LGBTQ+ community and improve overall mental health. The second section delves into specific challenges and situations that LGBTQ+ individuals may face. It addresses difficult topics such as anxiety, low self-esteem, eating disorders, self-harm, suicidal ideation, shame, trauma, substance abuse, sleep, and low mood. Throughout the workbook, the author maintains a strong focus on the unique needs and experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals.

What sets this workbook apart is its empowering and reassuring tone, written by an experienced queer mental health practitioner. It provides a safe and supportive space for LGBTQ+ individuals to flourish and overcome any challenges they may face. This one-of-a-kind workbook is a must-read for anyone looking to enhance their mental health and well-being."
