Beyond Survival. A Practical Guide to LGBTQI+ Anxiety (en Inglés) - Germain Gulevic

Beyond Survival: A Practical Guide to LGBTQI+ Anxiety offers a clear, evidence-based path to understanding and transforming that pattern-so you can stop bracing for the worst and start living with confidence, clarity, and ease.

Unlike generic anxiety books, this guide speaks directly to the lived experience of LGBTQI+ people. It explores how anxiety is shaped by what psychologists call minority stress-the ongoing pressure of managing how safe it is to be seen, accepted, or authentic in different environments.

At the centre of this experience is the visibility-safety paradox: the more you show up as yourself, the more your system scans for risk.

Over time, this can lead to: Constant overthinking and second-guessing, Hypervigilance and "what if" spirals, Social anxiety and fear of judgement or rejection, People-pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries, Internalised shame and self-doubt.

This book helps you understand why these patterns develop-and, more importantly, how to change them.

Drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), clinical hypnotherapy, and HypnoCBT (an integrative, evidence-based approach), Beyond Survival goes deeper than surface-level coping strategies.

Because anxiety isn't just something you think-it's something your system has learned to feel automatically.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

Whether your anxiety shows up in relationships, work, social situations, or your sense of self, this book provides a clear roadmap to move forward.

This is not about "fixing" yourself. It's about understanding the intelligent adaptations you've developed-and learning how to update them so they support the life you actually want.

You deserve more than just coping. You can move beyond survival.
