Book launch · Another Story Bookstore · May 2025 · 1 hr 25 min
The virtual launch of The Mental Health Guide for Cis and Trans Queer Guys (New Harbinger, June 2025), in conversation with Dr. Marco Posadas, a social worker, psychoanalyst and long-time friend.
Rahim explains why the book focuses on population-specific social determinants of mental health, such as internalized shame and heteronormative milestones, rather than an HIV-centred view. He describes how he integrates cognitive behavioural, gestalt and psychoanalytic tools into accessible strategies, and why inclusive resources matter for queer men navigating the stresses of their subcultures and systemic oppression.
