Why Is Grief Part of Queer Healing? A Social Psychology Podcast Episode.

Main content section starts at 23:45.

Traditionally, whenever we think about grief, we tend to limit it to the loss of a loved one, a social or romantic relationship that we valued but it is now lost and we grieve when we go through traumatic events. Yet a lot of people traditionally don’t acknowledge that LGBT+ individuals grieve for the childhood, adolescence and life that was stolen from them because of the homophobic environment where they grew up, and how they needed to hide themselves for their own safety. This is what I talk about in my podcast episode that talks about the second adolescence that LGBT+ individuals experience after coming out and when they have more control over their lives. Therefore, in this social psychology podcast episode, you’ll learn why is grief part of queer healing, what is queer healing and how we can support and nurture queer people during their healing process. If you enjoy learning about trauma, discrimination and mental health then this will be a brilliant episode for you.

In the psychology news section, you'll learn about social identity amongst prisoners, how kids' sleep schedules vary widely by culture, and mum's disapproval can make friendships more likely to end.
