About this book

Alan Downs examines how shame and rejection can continue to shape gay men's lives after coming out. Combining psychological research with personal experience and accounts from friends and clients, this self-help work describes stages toward emotional well-being. Its discussion connects cultural expectations, anger and the search for validation with the work of living more authentically.
