Episode notes

— Dr. Kimeron Hardin's work is a call to action for every member of the LGBT community to stand up and be proud of who you are. Through the compassionate voice of Dr. Hardin, this well-documented guide allows you to recognize your strengths, acknowledge your weaknesses, and become a stronger, more vital person.

Growing up lesbian or gay in a heterocentric or homophobic culture presents many challenges to the development of a healthy self-concept.

Dr. Hardin's work is about going beyond the intellectual resistance to early programming and incorporating a truly self-compassionate relationship to the identity we call the "self".
