In this deeply insightful and heartfelt episode of Beyond Your Horizon, host Jon John welcomes back Anthony D. Jackson, LAPC — also known as The Unconventional Therapist. Anthony is a licensed associate professional counselor, clinical researcher, and child therapist whose blended approach to healing helps people from all walks of life find freedom and transformation.

Together, Jon John and Anthony explore the psychology of love, the journey of healing inner wounds, and how our childhood experiences often shape the way we show up in romantic relationships. They discuss internalized homophobia, growing up in religious households, and learning to love authentically as Black gay men.

Anthony also shares exciting news about his upcoming podcast, The Black Rainbow Collective, where mental health meets unapologetic truth and humor.

If you’ve ever struggled to love yourself, questioned your worth, or longed for real connection — this conversation will remind you that healing is possible and love is still sacred.
