What principles from this week's readings can you apply? Identify at least one take-away from each reading that you could utilize. In this week’s readings, I decided to talk about the transgender community. I think that this community will need more and more of our services as the years progress. It is important as therapists that we educate ourselves properly so we can best service this community. Something I found alarming was that there was a study that recorded 40% of transgender adults between the ages of 18-24 who reported a past suicide attempts. Additional research has found elevated rates of depression, anxiety, and somatic concerns among transgender adults, and researchers have attributed these elevated rates of mental health problems to minority stress (Golden & Oransky 2019). I learned that a great intervention as a therapist would be gender affirming, and working with families to practice this with transgender adolescents as well. Practicing within this affirmative model, therapists aim to help youth navigate gender exploration, with the goal of supporting youth in living a life aligned with their gender identity, whatever form that most comfortably takes for each individual. (Golden & Oransky 2019). This model helps to support youth in living a life aligned with their gender identity, whatever form that most comfortably takes for each individual Golden, R. L., & Oransky, M. (2019). An Intersectional Approach to Therapy with Transgender Adolescents and Their Families.
