I wanted to share with you an incredibly common anxiety that I've experienced day in and day out in my work. 
 
The fear of being gay. 
 
Many of my clients suffer from this fear and for those who don't it can seem funny or ridiculous, but it's something that genuinely tortures the men who carry this deep fear. Constantly being bombarded with thoughts like, “Am I attracted to that man over there?! Do I find these women attractive?? Am I gay?? What is wrong with me?!" 
I have also found that many of the men I know outside of work, including my husband, have gone through a phase or two of anxiety around their sexual orientation.
 
I made this video to create understanding of how this fear develops, why it manifests in a way that can feel overwhelming and some information that can soothe you if you carry this fear.
