As a queer person, how do you unpack what’s happened in your life, and make peace with the past? How can you gain a deeper understanding of who you are and create a motivating future for yourself?
In this highly original self-help/memoir, gay psychologist Peter Quarry explains, step by step, how to take stock of the life you’ve led so far. With disarming frankness, Quarry demonstrates, by dissecting his own chequered life, growing up in the pre-AIDS era of the 1970s.
As one time sex and drug addicted ‘Pete’, he reveals the story of his sometimes shocking, always colourful background. As internationally recognised psychologist ‘PQ’, he then analyses it with clinical objectivity. The result is a work full of insights, wisdom and practical advice.
In putting himself on his own couch, Quarry will inspire you to reflect on your journey and gain the skills and confidence to face the continuing stream of curveballs ahead.

“Peter’s book is a really engaging, thought-provoking and enjoyable look at life’s ups and downs, memories and plans for the future. It’s very clever and creative. I’ve found it an inspiring encouragement to review my own gay life story.”
