Greetings! 

 

If you are new to the Kort Report, I welcome you to my newsletter. If you have already been a subscriber then I thank you for remaining interested in the work I do.

 

June is gay pride month. To celebrate I am offering a discount for a teleclass I am doing for gay men both single and partnered based on the re-publication of my book, 10 Smart Things Gay Men Can Do To Find Real Love.

 

I am so happy to finally offer the book in an ebook format through Kindle and Nook.  

 

Today is the last day for the discount.  

 

My first book is currently in the works to be re-published as well by Magnus Books, 10 Smart Things Gay Men Can Do To Improve Their Lives.

 

My second book is timely as I devote the first two chapters to growing up gay and the trauma which occurs from bullying, keeping a sexual secret and suppressing one's true identity. I hope that those who read it will find information helpful for their healing any unresolved trauma interfering with your gay life.  

 

We have all kinds of offerings this month at The Center for Relationship and Sexual Health in terms of individual and couples therapy, teleclasses and groups both new and ongoing. Please feel free to call us at 248-399-7447 and ask us about them.

 

Have a great June and enjoy the warm weather.  

 

Warmly,

 

Joe Kort, Ph.D., LMSW

10 Smart Things Gay Men Can Do To Find Real Love is back in print!
 
 

 

To purchase this book in paperback click here.

 

To purchase as an ebook in Kindle click here.

 

To purchase an autographed book from me click here.

 

The book's re-release is timely in that I spend the first three chapters talking about the trauma of growing up gay which results from bullying and living in silence with something very core to one's own identity. 

 

It is not a book just about relationships either as it addresses mother issues and father issues which is something we can all examine and learn from. I even included a chapter on making the decision to remain single which is a fine decision to make if that is what you choose. 

 

Here is a list of the chapters:

Start Your Hero's Journey and Let Your Initiation Begin!

 

Chapter 1
Live in Integrity and Be Accountable to Yourself and Your Partner

 

Chapter 2
Become the Man You Were Meant to Be 

 

Chapter 3
Discover How What You Hate Can Help You Love 

 

Chapter 4

Go from a Gay Boy to a Gay Man with Your Father 

 

Chapter 5

Gay Affirmative Therapy

 

It is not enough to be gay friendly, you must be gay informed! 

                        -Joe Kort, Ph.D.

 

See my latest interview on what Gay Affirmative Therapy is and why it is important to use with GLBT clients with Clinton Power, an Australian gay therapist.
