Coming out doesn’t erase the trauma we’ve carried. In this episode of The Queer Quest Podcast, we’re getting real about how queer people internalize pain, develop unhealthy coping mechanisms, and struggle to heal. From alcohol and hookup culture to social media doom-scrolling, we break down why these habits help us survive but don’t actually help us thrive.

What we dive into:
🌈 The myth that coming out = instant healing
🧠 Why queer people struggle with internalized shame & unprocessed trauma
🍷 The ways we numb ourselves (and why they don’t work)
💡 How to finally move from avoidance to actual healing

If you’re ready to start truly healing, this episode is for you.
