Living in a Nonbinary World:
Understanding Cultural Shifts in Gender Identity and Expression
Sarah Burgamy, Psy.D.
Hello,
People often joke about the "alphabet soup" of gender and sexual identity. The list of letters following the original 'LGB' has definitely grown.
But the importance of those letters is not a joke.
Each letter represents gender identities and sexual orientations that our fellow human beings experience…
And each letter recognizes the struggle to be seen and respected.
So, let's get serious about this real issue: When people's core identities are disrespected or marginalized, the normal response is distress. We see unacceptable rates of distress in the LGBTQIA+ community.
Why?
Not feeling seen or accepted for who they are.
We have to stay current with the needs of the people we serve. One of those needs is understanding one's gender identity and sexual orientation.
In our new course, Living in a Nonbinary World, gender and sexual identity expert Dr. Sarah Burgamy, gives you the information you need to serve your clients.
In this concise course, you'll get the tools you need to understand gender diversity and navigate a rapidly evolving cultural landscape.
When you understand the breadth of the human gender experience, you will be more effective working with both cisgender folks AND gender-diverse folks.
You will be more capable, more ethical, and more comfortable serving all genders.
Warmly,
Academy of Therapy Wisdom

"Gender identity isn't a "specialty" area. You can't decide that an aspect of human identity that's as foundational as gender is a specialty. That would do a disservice to yourself and a whole lot of amazing people that you could be working with. Therapists need to know how to work with all human beings, and all human beings have gender."

"I have attended multiple trainings and professional presentations facilitated by Dr. Sarah Burgamy, and I have always been thoroughly impressed, not only by her obvious and expansive clinical expertise, but also by her ability to make topics and subject matter that are often complex, challenging, academic, and/or intimidating to discuss, very easy to grasp, and fun to learn!

"There are certain people who come into a community and leave it better than they found it..."
"They are experts in their field, bring compassion even as they may challenge old ways of thinking, and expand what is possible in a community's ability to support and care for one another. Dr. Sarah Burgamy has been such a person...
...[She has reminded] us that we can provide "invitations to brave space,"... and that when someone comes out (about a gender identity or sexual orientation) it is a precious gift of trust.
Dr.Burgamy's message is that a critical component of growing and becoming is having brave spaces for all students to figure out who they are so they feel happy and healthy."
