Body image distress in gay and bi men is common—but too often misunderstood or overlooked in clinical work. This foundational training helps you move beyond surface-level assumptions to truly understand how shame, status, community, and cultural pressures shape body image for this population.
We’ll explore key research, real-world case vignettes, and two core frameworks—Minority Stress Theory and Intraminority Gay Community Stress Theory—to help you see the systems behind the symptoms.
Whether you’re new to this work or wanting to deepen your competence, you’ll come away with a nuanced lens for recognizing body image concerns in gay and bisexual men—and feel more prepared to hold these conversations with care and cultural attunement.
