Beschreibung

<p><b>In this moving guide, a gay man shares his personal journey of letting go of shame and moving forward with self-compassion and healing.</b></p><p><b>"A touchstone in gay culture." -</b><i><b>Observer</b></i></p><p><b>"The clearest, most succinct delineation of the origins and consequences of internalized homophobia, and how to address them." -</b><i><b>Artvoice</b></i></p><p>Even though an entire generation of men have openly and freely come out of the closet, gay men still struggle with self-acceptance. Sexually transmitted diseases, depression, and suicide occur more frequently for gay men than straight men. It doesn't have to be this way.</p><p>Through brave individual stories and compassionate analysis, <i>The Velvet Rage</i> explores how shame is insidious, and can be traced back to childhood feelings of "otherness". Drawing on contemporary psychological research, Alan Downs offers a path to emotional well-being and an end to self-defeating behavior.</p><p><i>Velvet Rage</i> is an empowering book you'll wish you read long ago. It's not too late to begin the healing process.</p>
