Full Description
Still Here! Still Queer! Now What? is a self-help toolkit for LGBTQ+ people who are well into adulthood, but still seek support and inspiration to live as the most vibrant, vivid expression of themselves.
There are some great resources for young people who identify as LGBTQ+, but there is a notable lack of support for those who have reached mid-life. Still Here! Still Queer! Now What? bridges this divide, providing readers with a toolkit so they can stand in the power of their wholeness, celebrate who they are, become who they want to be and even change the world for the better.
Experienced coach and development practitioner Dr Paul Taylor-Pitt provides guidance drawn from psychology, philosophy, art and culture, his experience, and the experiences of others, which he has gathered from face-to-face interviews. Altogether, this gives readers a practical process for reconnecting to the concept of queer wholeness - living as and celebrating your most authentic self.
