Many of the trans people that I know are actually more acclimated and stable than most people, than cisgender people that I know, and to say that we have a mental illness because we're trans, I think is really one of the most, the harshest myths that we can that we deal with on a Daily basis
Picture this: you're a therapist, and you want to help all your clients, but you realize there's a gap in your understanding when it comes to the transgender community. This episode of 'One Hour AT A Time' dives deep into that very issue. Host Mary Woods sits down with Beck to discuss the unique hurdles transgender individuals face in addiction and mental health treatment. They talk about the alarming rates of addiction, suicidality, and mental health struggles within this community.
Beck shares personal stories and insights, aiming to dispel myths and foster a more compassionate approach to care. The conversation touches on the importance of therapists working on their own biases and seeking out transgender individuals as teachers. They also highlight the need for creating safe spaces and the role of community support in recovery. If you're a therapist, a loved one, or someone interested in better understanding the transgender experience, this episode offers valuable guidance and heartfelt advice.
