Just to reverse NI'sSexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Gender Expression:
If NI is distressed by these experiences, confused and anxious about it, but unable to talk and be supported, then join our "Born Perfect" support group! This is a group of people with similar experiences led by professional counselors Psychological support group.
We sexual/gender minorities have been taught that because we are "sick," "defective," "evil," or somehow "abnormal," we need some kind of "healing." Some institutions and individuals claim to be able to provide "correction" for profit, a practice known as "conversion therapy." Common forms of conversion therapy include counseling, medical therapy, religious activities, detox schools, superstition/witchcraft, and more. Not only are these so-called treatments deemed ineffective by the WHO, they often cause far-reaching harm to those involved. More and more "conversion therapy" providers are being punished by the law. The Haidian District People's Court in Beijing ruled in December 2014 that the institution providing "conversion therapy" was illegal, and asked it to apologize to the plaintiff and pay compensation. In June 2016, a man in Zhumadian City, Henan Province sued the local hospital for forcing him to undergo "conversion therapy." The hospital issued a public apology and compensation by the court. We are willing to provide psychological support and healing to those who have been hurt by "reversal therapy".
In March 2022, we launched our first phase of Torsion Therapy Survivor Psychology Group, allowing survivors to communicate narratives and make connections in a safe environment. The results of the assessment showed that the participants' post-traumatic stress (PTSD) index decreased by an average of 51%. Participants also said that "effective support helped them get through difficult times" and "grow and change". In the second half of the year, we will start recruiting again to give survivors of conversion therapy in need a space to talk and support.
