Intimacy After Trauma

A Guide for Gay Men

By Michael Duryea

Have you ever felt hesitant to let someone in because you're scared of what they might find? Or have you been hiding parts of yourself because you're convinced that the real you is "too much"?

In a world where conversations around trauma and intimacy are sparse, particularly within gay relationships, this essential book from experienced therapist, Michael Duryea, offers the perfect antidote. Laying the groundwork to transform shame into selfacceptance, this book places the shared experiences of gay men at its centre, exploring how cultural pressures, traumas and hidden fears can inform our approaches to closeness.

With therapeutic insights and practical exercises that encourage healing through mindfulness, forgiveness, communication and more, you'll learn not only how to build trust and deepen intimacy with others, but you'll also uncover your own strength and reshape the beliefs that kept you small. Whilst the path to healing is never straight-forward, with these reflections you'll have all the tools you need to build a future where your connection with yourself and others can thrive.

The Other A in LGBTQIA+

An Introduction to the Aromantic Community, in Our Own Words

By AUREA

Do you ever feel alienated by the way society presents love? Maybe you find the idea of romantic relationships off-putting, or maybe it's just 'not your thing'. Sound familiar?

This essential book weaves together insights and perspectives from aromantic people across the world, sharing their stories of self-discovery and community.

Chapters explore how aromanticism interacts with mental health, dealing with stigma or dismissive attitudes, intersection with different cultural expectations, and more.

Whether you're new to an aromantic identity, have been part of the community for years, or just want to know more, this book will help you understand what aromanticism is and what it means for you.

You're Probably Gayish

The Truth (and Lies) Behind 17 Gay Stereotypes

By Kyle Getz, Mike Johnson, Davey Wavey

What if I don't know how to "do stuff" all the other gays can do? What if I don't know the name of that gay Netflix movie? What if I'm not obsessed with Jennifer Coolidge like everyone else? Am I really bad at being gay?

While being gay has become more socially and legally acceptable, there's a specific kind of gay that's most accepted. He's hot, jacked, white, loves iced coffee, watches Drag Race, and has a service job but somehow travels to Palm Springs every summer

In this book, Kyle and Mike aim to break down the most prolific gay stereotypes in popular discourse - drawing on personal experience, up-to-date research, social history and maybe even Wikipedia to demonstrate first-hand how we're all a mixture of gay and straight stereotypes.

So - whether you're gay or not - you're probably gayish...

Supporting Trans People of Colour

How to Make Your Practice

Inclusive

By Sabah Choudrey

Providing an accessible and authoritative introduction to issues around People of Colour (POC) trans inclusion, this book uses case studies, tips, checklists and anonymous survey results to set out best practice for any professionals working with trans people to create safer spaces, support and awareness. Trans people of colour are often excluded because gender and race are treated as separate issues.

They are therefore left out from movements and services and in trans and non-binary spaces, their POC identities are overlooked. Choudreys guide introduces the theory of intersectionality from the start, giving practical tips and steps to ensure that the community as a whole may be represented and creates a safer space for trans people of colour to thrive.

An empowering and self-preserving tool, Supporting Trans People of Colour is an invaluable resource for therapists, counsellors, healthcare professionals, and those working in education and charities, as well as those wanting to make their approach and service more inclusive.

My Dad Thinks I'm a Boy?!

A Trans Positive Children's Book

By Sophie Labelle

Stephie is 7 years old. She likes bugs, books and spaghetti. Also, she’s a girl...which should be pretty easy to understand, right? Well, not for her Dad! He’s been mistaking her for a boy since she was born and struggles to see her for who she is. This powerful and uplifting children’s book for primary age children and their families humorously portrays a situation that is often too common, where a trans child is forced to negotiate between their true self and their parents love. With amusing illustrations, and a useful guide for adults, it’s the perfect book to help show children that no one else than ourselves gets to decide who we are.
