Navigating Queer Adulthood with Adam James Cohen, LMFT

This month, we’re talking to Adam James Cohen, a Marriage and Family Therapist about his upcoming book Second Adolescence: the Messessary path to queer adulthood, which based on his podcast Second Adolescence and also Two Boys Kissing by David LevithanAdam’s podcast Second Adolescence is all about the messy, exhilarating, awkward, healing-filled queer adulthood that comes after growing through first adolescence in an anti-queer world. Each episode features a queer person sharing about their experience growing up, discovering their identity, coming out, and living through their own Second Adolescence. Adam’s book, which is part memoir, provides a framework for what Second Adolescence is for queer people and how they move through it.And our second book, Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan is a young adult novel, inspired by true events, that follows two 17-year-old boys who set out to break a world record by kissing for 32 hours. This book weaves a number of multi-generational intertwining storylines together where characters are also discovering their own identity and coming out. If you’d like to reach out with your own recommendations or are a mental health practitioner interested in coming on to share, you can email us at [email protected].
