Reposting our June 2021 episode where we were joined by Jungian Analyst Bob Withers to explore the distinctions between gay conversion therapy and gender identity conversion therapy.
We dive into the controversial topic of therapists potentially "transing the gay away" and consider whether the dark history of conversion therapy is truly behind us. Bob shares his insights on psychosomatic symptoms, drawing from his expertise in philosophy and medical history, to analyze our current focus on subjective identity. He also discusses "detrans-phobic" reactions to detransitioners' experiences.
