Tom Smithson on Inviting In

Listen on

Episode notes

In this episode, I sit with a Writer and Therapist, who specialises in working with the LGBTQIA+ community, Tom Smithson (he/him).

 

We discuss the faith that it gets better, Tom’s book that he is writing due for release in 2025, that there is no one way to come out, how what a therapist looks like can affect how much we share with them, the many ways in which Tom finds his work meaningful, and the idea of ‘inviting in’ as an alternative to ‘coming out’.
