The Queer and Transgender Resilience Workbook by Anneliese Singh
You've probably heard of the term resilience. But what does it really mean? Resilience is the ability to bounce back from stressful or traumatic events-which for many people include a job loss, losing a loved one, or even living through a natural disaster. But if you're queer or gender non-conforming, stressors can also include discrimination, family rejection, physical attacks, and oppression-all of which can lead to feelings of hopelessness and powerlessness. So, how can you build the resilience and confidence you need to thrive? With this compassionate guide, you'll learn how to identify and challenge internalized negative messages, create a community of support, and embrace your truest self. You'll also discover powerful tools to help you cultivate body positivity, manage stress, foster optimism and growth, and even find the strength to help others. Once you know how to tap into your personal resilience, you'll have an unlimited well you can draw from to navigate daily challenges.
Anneliese A. Singh, PhD, LPC, is associate dean of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the College of Education at the University of Georgia, and associate professor in the department of counseling and human development services. She received her doctorate in counseling psychology from Georgia State University in 2007. Her clinical, research, and advocacy interests include: LGBTQQ counseling, resilience of historically marginalized groups (e.g., LGBTQ, people of color, immigrants), social justice and multicultural counseling and training, feminist theory and practice, and empowerment interventions with survivors of trauma. Singh is a cofounder of the Georgia Safe Schools Coalition, an organization that works at the intersection of heterosexism, racism, sexism, and other oppressions to create safe school environments in Georgia, and she founded the Trans Resilience Project to translate findings from her 15 years of research on the resilience that transgender people develop to navigate societal oppression.
