the book (coming soon!)

 Second Adolescence: the Messessary path to queer adulthood is the upcoming book from licensed psychotherapist, Adam James Cohen. Rep’d by Susan Schulman Literary Agency, currently out on submission.

Part memoir, part phenonemological, Second Adolescence provides a framework for what Second Adolescence is for queer people and how we move through it.

Second Adolescence is explored as a developmental life-stage that queer people who spent their adolescence in the closet or otherwise unable to live safely as their true selves might have to grow through in order to find the adulthood they seek.

At its core, this book is about healing the wounds of our younger queer selves - the ones who didn’t get to experience life with liberation and freedom, and the ones who came to believe they were something that needed to be hidden.
