All individuals possess multiple intersecting identities, both contextually determined and at various stages of development. Contradictory or incompatible societal expectations attached to differing identities may cause internal conflict. Simultaneous navigation of queer and religious/spiritual identities may result in experiencing lack of affirmation and negative messaging, affecting successful negotiation and integration of these two identities, potentially affecting mental health. Awareness of this potential intersectional conflict is important for counselors treating these individuals. Here we present counselors with a framework for understanding intersecting identities by applying self-categorization theory and exploring the continued influence effect.

了解宗教/精神和酷儿身份之间的冲突：辅导员框架

所有人都拥有多重交叉身份，无论是在上下文中还是在不同的发展阶段。依附于不同身份的矛盾或不相容的社会期望可能导致内部冲突。同时导航酷儿和宗教/精神身份可能会导致缺乏肯定和负面信息，影响这两种身份的成功谈判和整合，可能影响心理健康。意识到这种潜在的交叉冲突对于治疗这些人的辅导员很重要。在这里，我们通过应用自我分类理论和探索持续影响效应，为辅导员提供了一个理解交叉身份的框架。
