Who Am I?The process of coming out is described as a developmental stage model that involves several stages, starting with identity and orientation confusion, where the child realizes they are different from their peers.In this episode, Heather talks about Stage 1 of the Coming Out process when your child starts to realize they are different from their friends and will find themselves in a place of denial. Seek guidance from LGBTQ advocates and educators as it is important for you to be aware of your child's internal struggles and emotions during this process.Connect with Heather:Solutions listed on her website: https://chrysalismama.com For the Language of LGBTQIA+ E-book, visit: https://learnwith.chrysalismama.com/book Digital Coming Out Course for Parents - Text Ally to 55444 to get Heather's "My kid just came out and I'm freaking out!"
