conversion therapy
conversion therapy
Conversion therapy is not really therapy and needs to be banned in all states. It is not only not therapy, it is abusive and based on ignorance and hatred. This has no place in the therapeutic relationship. LGBTQ individuals have a higher rate of suicide and higher rate of suicidal ideation than their straight peer groups. This is so dangerous and needs to be banned.
