Coming Out: A Journey of Transformation
As a counsellor working with LGBTQ+ clients, I’ve come to see coming out as a deeply personal journey, much like a caterpillar’s transformation into a butterfly.  It starts with building strength, resilience, and understanding in a world that might not always feel welcoming.

The cocoon stage is where the magic happens. In this protected space, just like the caterpillar, we begin to listen to our true selves—the part that’s always been there but might have been hidden. It’s a time for self-discovery, reflection, and growth.

Emerging as a butterfly doesn’t happen overnight. Each person’s process is unique, and it takes time. But when the moment comes, it’s breath-taking—the dazzling wings of authenticity are finally revealed, ready to embrace the world with newfound freedom.

The view changes completely once you’ve emerged. You can now see the world from above, with a new perspective and a sense of liberation. Spreading your wings means appreciating the beauty in life, in yourself, and in the world around you.

If you’re on this journey, know that you are strong, you are beautiful, and your wings will carry you far. Everyone’s path is different, but every step brings you closer to embracing your true self.
