]]> http://www.gaytherapist.com/rik-on-the-radio/feed/ 0 Welcome to Rik’s Gay Therapist blog! http://www.gaytherapist.com/blog/ http://www.gaytherapist.com/blog/#comments Sat, 26 Feb 2011 02:08:06 +0000 Rik http://www.gaytherapist.com/?p=4 Hi, gang—

If you’ve come across this post, I’m in the midst of transferring my site to WordPress from its previous host, which is still active, in case you’ve noticed the duplicate content~

I made the shift for some style and function purposes, and so I could add a blog to my website!

Looking forward to conversations re: current state of gay rights and politics (military, civil unions/marriage, etc.), social concerns, like religious conflicts; and various gay therapy-related issues, from conflict resolution to recovery, religious conflict, bullying, aging, sexuality and dating, and lots of other topics!

If this is your first time here, an rss feed link should appear in the slider, next to the cover of Love Between Men. Or you can click on the orange rss symbol down at the right-hand corner of this page. You can also sign up for my Ezine by filling out the form in the right-hand column.

In the meantime, check out the video for our upcoming workshop at Esalen: it’s on the homepage slider, and also on the Gay Men Thriving page.

hope you enjoy ;-)

best wishes,

Rik
