Are you a gay man who would like to apply the life-changing concepts presented in the groundbreaking book, The Velvet Rage: Overcoming the Pain of Growing Up in a Straight Man’s World, to a deeper level in your life? The author, Dr. Alan Downs, is offering on a limited basis an intensive one-on-one workshop program on The Velvet Rage to help you jumpstart your life along a path of acceptance.

This intensive program is a package of 12 structured, one-on-one sessions with the author that covers many of the topics presented in the book, such as: healing shame-based trauma, reducing the craving for external validation, ending the cycle of relational trauma, the art and pleasure of “connected sex,” and finding contentment and purpose in life.

The hour long, one-on-one sessions with Dr. Downs are organized around a specific Velvet Rage topic and include in-depth application of the topic to your life with easily-completed, insight-building homework assignments. Sessions are conducted using an interactive video service offered by Zoom, a completely confidential meeting application that is HIPAA-compliant and available on PC, Mac, iPhone, and Android platforms.

The cost is $1800 for the package of 12 sessions.

The workshop includes 12 hours of one-on-one time with Dr. Downs and unique workshop assignments that are unavailable elsewhere.
