Help Clients at Each Phase of LGBTQ Identify Development

Phase 1: Pre-Coming Out
- Denial about sexual orientation or gender
- When sexual behavior doesn’t match sexual identity
- Differentiate between feelings, behavior, and identity
- The importance of continued sexual health assessment and education
Phase 2: Comparison and Consideration
- When clients start to think they might be LGBTQ (or at least different)
- Client cues that are openings to explore further
- Questions to elicit more open discussion
- How to inquire without pushing beyond client readiness
Phase 3: Tolerance and Exploration
- When clients are exploring sexuality and gender but have not claimed an identity
- Use different models of sexuality and gender with clients
- Track for integration: Is this helpful for the client?
- Address shame and internalized homophobia/transphobia
- Identify educational resources
Phase 4: Acceptance
- When clients start to integrate their sexual and gender identity into the world
- Connect clients with community support
- Facilitate grief for lost time and lost dreams
- Develop a coming-out plan and process
- Start talking about gender transition
- Tools to navigate the conflicting worlds of family, identity, and cultures
Phase 5: Pride
- Address client rage about oppression and past injuries (even when it’s directed toward you)
- Support clients in celebrating their “adolescence”: validation and safety
- Attend to the particular challenges of bisexuals
Phase 6: Synthesis and Integration
- When being LGBTQ is hardly an issue for the client
- Effectively integrate LGBTQ history and knowledge into the clinical session
