Your Therapist Needs Therapy 120 - Conversion Therapy Is, Was, and Always Will Be Harmful
Jeremy talks about his least favorite topic this week, the Supreme Court. The christofascists on the court are going to overturn a Colorado ban on conversion therapy in Chiles v Salazar. I’m not a political prognosticator, but they are, because it’s part of Project 2025. And Jeremy breaks down why the court will do this for much larger purposes than just to harm LGBTQ+ kids. F*ck the court. F*ck bigots. F*ck fascism. No good therapists will be doing conversion therapy, regardless of a legal standard, because it’s harmful.
As always, Jeremy has all his practice info at Wellness with Jer, and you can find him on Instagram and YouTube. To show your love for the show you can pick up some merch! We appreciate support from likes, follows, and shares as well! None of my online work would be possible without my media maven Kenny, so check out their work as well at kenlingdesign.com

Podcasts about therapy do not replace actual therapy, and listening to a podcast about therapy does not signify a therapeutic relationship.
