Writings by Dr. Paula deChelly addressing issues facing lesbian women
Many things interest me about living a lesbian lifestyle. We live in a very interesting time in history. Our visibility is demanding that society see us in terms of our human rights. The topics relating to issues particular to being a lesbian feel important for me to ponder and write about. For example: lesbian identity, lesbian psychology, coming out, dealing with families, society challenges, religion and spirituality, togetherness and separateness, effects of childhood abuse on relationships, the lesbian community, co-dependency, healthy relationships, sex and intimacy, addiction, domestic violence, legal protection for lesbians, transitioning, commitment, having children, adoption, and aging. I offer my articles with the hope that they will help us consider our choices to be whole and true to ourselves. I welcome comments, ideas and discussion.
Paula deChelly, Ph.D.
My life journey has taken me into the light, the dark, and to vast spans in between. All of my experiences have grounded me in a depth of wisdom and compassion that has brought me to who I am now. I see myself as a creator in everything I do: a catalyst for transformation, a conduit, guide, and seeker of truth about the sacred processes of life. My love of spirit, symbols and ritual combined with fascination, knowledge and understanding of psychology and human nature synergistically ignites my passion as a celebrant, therapist, maskmaker, visual artist, musician, teacher, writer, speaker and workshop facilitator. My work, which expresses through this inspired energy, is profoundly filled with deep respect, appreciation and love for all matters of the soul.
