3 Reasons We Come Out Later in Life; Therapist Explains

Why is it that so many people are well into their adulthood before realizing they are part of the LGBTQIA+ community? This week's Ask a Therapist video has the answer. 3 things need to be in place for people to feel comfortable sharing who they are. Safety, Desire for Change, and Opportunity are the three most significant markers for when someone is likely to be comfortable living into the trueness of who they are. Check out this week's video for how that plays out for ANYONE looking to come out in their lives, and especially to those who are looking to do so later in their lives. #lateinlife #comingout #askatherapist __ Kelly is a LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) in the USA making YouTube videos to inform, entertain, and empower viewers.
