The practice of so-called “conversion therapy” or “reparative therapy” is particularly harmful to LGBTQ+ youth. The intent of this practice is to change an individual’s sexual orientation or
gender identity, and methods include aversion therapy, talk therapy, shaming and hypnosis, among other techniques.
Conversion therapy rests on the premise that an LGBTQ+ individual’s identity is pathological and can be “repaired” or “fixed.” This false premise has no basis in medicine or science.
