Thrive: Your Identity Revolution

by Sarah Mesh

Your Identity Revolution is a trauma informed workbook designed to support deep identity exploration related to sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression. Written by a licensed clinician with lived experience of religious trauma and identity suppression, this book blends evidence based therapeutic tools with guided reflection to help you reduce shame, challenge internalized beliefs, and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

The workbook uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy principles to help you understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors shape identity development, especially in environments shaped by heteronormativity, ciscentrism, religion, and cultural pressure.

This book meets you wherever you are. It supports people questioning their SOGIE, people who have come out and still struggle with self acceptance, people seeking deeper self understanding, and allies who want to learn how to show up with care and respect. Through structured chapters, psychoeducation, and extensive journaling prompts, you learn to identify cognitive distortions, deconstruct internalized homophobia and heteronormativity, explore gender identity and expression, and build emotional regulation and self trust. The tone stays supportive, direct, and grounded in real clinical practice.

This workbook asks for honesty, commitment, and self compassion. You do the work through reflection, repetition, and practice. The goal stays clear. You move toward authenticity, resilience, and a life aligned with your values rather than fear or shame. Whether you feel early in questioning, stuck in old narratives, or ready to deepen your growth, this book offers a structured path toward healing, self acceptance, and thriving.
