How does therapy help with internalized homophobia/biphobia?
I'm in therapy for anxiety, self-worth stuff and paranoid tendencies. Over time I realized that part of my problem might be internalized biphobia? I am scared of and assume people will reject me, because I'm in a lesbian relationship, even if it's not realistic . I often think I shouldn't feel hurt by homophobia, because others suffer from it more. I experience homophobia quite often in my workplace and I think I still don't know how to deal with it properly and am very ashamed for being hurt by it. I am also ashamed of being ashamed for being queer and I am also ashamed that being bi is so important to me. I am wondering whether this is what internalized homophobie/biphobia is and how or whether therapy can help with that. My therapist is straight, I would say queer-friendly, but not very queer-informed. Have some of you been in therapy for internalized homophobia and how has therapy helped you with that?
