Don't Neglect the Internal Integration of the Self!

Written By Dr. Natalia P Zhikhareva

So much of gender dysphoria is caused by the incongruence one feels between their gender identity and the secondary sex characteristics.

For this reason, focusing on modifying the external becomes the goal.

It is equally, if not more, important to remember that internal integration of one’s gender identity and the relationship to Self also has to take place.

Watch as I discuss the importance of this integration.
