Poster 7. Hetero-/mono-Normativity perpetuated in Western cultures has implications for counseling practices, especially among marriages, couples, and family counseling. Therefore, we present findings of a recently completed IPA study on the stress (e.g., personal, relational, societal) and resilience (e.g., relationship satisfaction, persona/relational effort, community support) of LGBP individuals related to their intersectional identities. In addition, future research recommendations will be provided for counselors interested in investigating sexuality and polyamory to inform counselor education and counseling practice.
