The only writing I had done since I graduated from the University of Arizona consisted of progress notes, risk assessments, and individualized service plans.

(Healy). Though Ngun’s work does not provide knowledge of the exact time at which these genomes tend to activate, his research does show that environmental influences may be a powerful determinant in predicting sexual orientation later in life.

Until recently, Gagnon (2015), reports that the underlying assumptions that a therapist is trying to convert an individual to heterosexuality is actually false, and adds that a client can explore his heterosexual potential without having to convert.
