Jared Dixon is a survivor of “ex-gay” conversion therapy. In this video, he talks about how is therapist, Christopher Doyle, used invasive and creepy techniques. This included forcing Dixon to journal about masturbation.
“He explicitly said ‘I’ll allow my clients one day out of a month to masturbate,'” Dixon recalls. “He then said, ‘the more you masturbate the more I make you journal.'”
It’s unclear if “ex-gay” therapist Christopher Doyle was getting his jollies. But it is clear that Doyle’s sexually-charged sessions are absurd, weird and never work.
“They started to preach this idea that if you could form a very close bond, a non-sexual bond with another male, that that could be healing. I’m going to hug you and touch you until you don’t like it anymore and become straight. It’s nonsense.”
“To those who are thinking about entering an ‘ex-gay’ ministry I would really encourage you to get some counseling outside of the church,” said Sheehan. “I think that they will take advantage of you. They will make you dependent and they will not do what’s in your best interest….Denying who you are doesn’t work.”
In this video, Game admits his ministry newsletter was “a form of propaganda” and that he used his wife to make it appear as if “change was possible.”
“I used my marriage as a tool trying to say how in love I was,” Game said. “In ‘ex-gay’ ministry, you’re almost trained to not be honest with yourself. To really deny those things.”
