In this powerful episode of The Courage to Be Courageous, host Dan Bolen speaks with Isaiah Bell, a biracial gay man who endured years of conversion therapy as a teenager. Isaiah shares the painful reality of trying to change who he was to please his family and church, and the long journey toward self-acceptance.

In this episode, Matt speaks with world-renowned trauma treatment expert, Harvard-trained psychiatrist, and psychotherapist Dr. Frank Anderson. Let's be honest, trauma isn't the most glamorous topic to talk about, but it significantly impacts us as gay men, and our community is in desperate need of healing from the trauma of growing up gay that we each likely experienced. This episode is a raw and real exploration of the impact growing up gay can have on us. Many of us had the pressure and stress of being a young boy and having to carry our big secret on our little shoulders. This pressure likely lasted for decades, and we had to deal with it alone, without support. Remember that you are not alone if you are struggling with this trauma or the dysfunctional behaviours unhealed trauma can cause us to engage in. Matt and Frank created this episode as a guide to understanding your trauma and how to begin the healing process. The concepts and questions we explore in this episode are: What are the different forms of trauma? What causes the trauma of growing up gay? What is the traumatic impact of growing up gay? How does “parts work” or internal family systems therapy (IFS) heal trauma? What are some of the parts gay men have to develop to deal with growing up gay? How can we begin to work with our wounded and protector parts to start healing? What's required for healing trauma for gay men specifically? What does life after trauma look like? How can we start to practice forgiveness and transcend our trauma?

KeywordsBrian Wisnand, Mississippi, gay, molestation, rape, trauma, addiction, healing, recovery, movie, meth addiction, sex parties, gay community, recovery, psychosis, sex parties, meth addiction, Adderall, coming out, Narcotics Anonymous, honesty in recovery, short film Takeaways Growing up gay in Mississippi in the 90s was challenging due to the lack of understanding and acceptance. Brian experienced molestation and rape by an older man, which had a profound impact on his understanding of his own sexuality. The trauma and confusion surrounding the abuse contributed to Brian's addiction and disassociation. Addressing and sharing his story has been a crucial part of Brian's healing and recovery journey. The stigma surrounding trauma and the need for open conversations and support are highlighted in Brian's experiences. Meth addiction can lead to engaging in risky sexual behavior, such as participating in sex parties. The use of meth in the gay community is more common compared to other communities. Meth use can lead to psychosis and paranoia, causing individuals to have distorted perceptions and beliefs. Recovery from meth addiction often involves addressing underlying trauma and patterns of behavior. The intertwined nature of meth use and sex parties can create a cycle of seeking pleasure and escape.

Author Armistead Maupin is a pioneer - writing about AIDS and HIV for a mass audience and daring to include gay, lesbian, trans and queer lives when few others were.   His ‘Tales of the City' series, which started as a newspaper column in 1974, became worldwide best-selling novels and a Netflix series. It chronicles the lives of queer people in San Francisco and pokes fun at morality and social norms, touching millions of readers and viewers over 50 years. The beloved saga is now back for its 10th and final instalment, Mona of the Manor.   Now in his late 70s and living in London, the American writer opens up to Krishnan Guru-Murthy about growing up in the South in a “sexist, homophobic” conservative family, how he came to embrace the LGBTQ community, what life was like at the peak of the AIDS epidemic in the 80s.   Produced by Silvia Maresca.

In 1950s suburban England, a friendship bloomed between Jeremy Seabrook and Michael O'Neill - both gay men coming of age during a time when homosexuality was still a crime. Their relationship was inflected by secrecy and fear, and when the prohibition on same-sex relationships was partially lifted in 1967, they were already well into adult life; the shadows that had distorted their adolescent years were never wholly dispelled.  This is the subject of Private Worlds: Growing Up Gay in Post-War Britain, the new memoir by Jeremy Seabrook. Lyrical, candid and poignant, it is a tale of sexual identity, working-class history and family drama. Jeremy joins us on the show this month to talk about life in 1950s Northampton, the advent of Gay Liberation in the 1960s, and what we can learn from a past shadowed by oppression and concealment in relation to today's struggle towards LGBTQIA+ freedom.  Private Worlds is 40% off for podcast listeners.

Plus, his favorite movies of the summer, refreshing cocktail ideas, and living in New Orleans.  Follow Philips over on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/philipswood/?hl=en!  Some key takeaways from our amazing conversation with Philips are: Let your son have the princess cookie! Meaning, let your kids express themselves and create an environment where they feel comfortable sharing what they like with you. It'll save you both a lot of heartache.

On todays episode of "Nana Tingz", I (@AntonioILiranzo) wanted to dive into the conversation of growing up gay. I read Alan Down's book "The Velvet Rage" (Available Here), were his discusses the 3 stages of shedding our shame of being gay. I wanted to create a safe space for us to talk about our shared trauma. Alans book brought up so many important topics such as addiction, failed relationships, being afraid of being alone and sexual experiences. Growing up in an era were idols and media showed mainly heterosexual couples, it is hard to understand our sexuality, especially when bullies know before we do and they are using the term "gay" and other words to torment us, we dont even know we are gay ourselves. The discovery of our sexuality can be weird and overwhelming, but we all share this gay trauma. Dm me if you would like to talk about this experience.
