Welcome!

This is a lesson within the ROGD Repair course that I've set to public preview mode. If you're here as a guest, thanks for dropping by and checking out the course!

If you're already enrolled and have been in the program for a while, you might not learn anything new from watching this video, but I would appreciate your sharing it with any friends you think would benefit from this course. You can share this YouTube link or this audio platform link.

In the video above, you can see episode 124 of my podcast, titled ROGD Repair: a New, Game-Changing Resource for Concerned Parents of Trans-Identified Youth, in which I describe what's in this course and explain why you should join if you have a trans-identified adolescent or young adult child. (A member of this community has also informed me he believes it would be valuable as a preventative tool for parents who are worried their teens or preteens may be at risk.)

While most content within this course won't be visible until you enroll, I wanted to offer this as a public preview in case you were curious what it's like inside the course. This video gives you a pretty thorough walk-through of what else you'll learn by joining, and it's my best effort at selling it. I'm not a natural salesperson, and I hate self-promotion, but I truly believe in the value of this course, and so far everyone who's taken a serious look at it has given excellent feedback. I'm confident that these tools will be valuable to any parent struggling in their relationship with a trans-identified adolescent or young adult.

Below are the show notes for You Must Be Some Kind of Therapist episode 124. ROGD Repair: a New, Game-Changing Resource for Concerned Parents of Trans-Identified Youth (release date: August 26, 2024).

Parents of trans-identified adolescents and young adults need educational resources that go beyond merely explaining why gender ideology and medicalization are harmful. They need tools that help them understand the psychological state their adolescent and young adult children are in, and teach them different approaches to communicating that are more likely to succeed than to backfire given their kids’ state of mind.

I created The ROGD Repair Course and Community with this in mind. It’s a comprehensive toolkit designed to empower concerned parents to help get their kids out of this mess while restoring their relationships — and their sanity.

ROGD Repair is a promising new program designed to equip parents of trans-identified adolescents and young adults with a comprehensive and customizable toolkit of psychology concepts and communication skills, curated specifically to help them walk their children toward desistance while protecting parents’ own sanity.

Imagine if parents of “trans” identified kids actually had a way to walk them out of this mess, wisely and strategically, and bring them home to safety and sanity.

Imagine if every new ROGD parent knew which pitfalls to avoid when communicating with zealous adolescents and young adults. What if, instead, these parents could skillfully apply time-tested communication techniques, suited to address the mental state of gender-confused youth? What if the youth’s own fears and motivations could actually lead them toward health, harmony and wholeness?

What if parents could protect their sanity and their most important relationships at the same time, all while improving their odds of rescuing their children from the clutches of a harmful ideology before any bodily harm takes place?

The ROGD Repair Course + Community for Parents is designed to do all of that. And now, it’s available to the public, at a fraction of the cost of coaching. 

Parents can learn the tools from 90+ video and written lessons on their own time and begin implementing them immediately. Discuss the Reflection Questions with their spouse or a buddy, or journal straight into the program. Ask questions, share insights, and request new topics in the community forums.

Right now I am offering the first 100 people to enroll post-launch an incredible offer that won’t come again.

Normally, in private lessons, you would see a Discussion section below, looking something like this. Because this lesson is set to public preview mode, I have comments turned off. However, if you join this course, you'll have the opportunity to post comments on almost all lessons.
