Gender Dysphoria

Understanding Gender Dysphoria in Adults & Teens

Compassionate, Confidential Support for Those Feeling Confused.

Have you ever felt so confused that you don’t know who you are? Is like the outside world doesn’t reflect who you truly are inside, physically and emotionally?  If you feel in this way, you’re not alone, and what you’re experiencing may be something called “gender dysphoria”.

Gender dysphoria is not simply about confusion or discomfort. It’s the emotional and psychological distress that comes from feeling misaligned between your inner feelings and the gender identity the world assigned to you. This can show up as anxiety, shame, depression, body-related discomfort, or a constant feeling of not belonging. It can be exhausting and isolating—but it doesn’t have to be.

At Positive Living UAE, we offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can have the emotional support from a psychologically educated personal coach at your own pace, on your own terms. Whether you’re questioning, transitioning, or simply trying to make sense of your feelings, you are welcome here.

This is not about labels. It’s about giving yourself permission to “understand yourself with compassion” without shame, without guilt, without fear, and without feeling that you are broken or not good enough!

Common Challenges You Might Be Facing

If you’re experiencing gender dysphoria, you might be navigating challenges such as:

  • Feeling disconnected from your body or appearance
  • Struggling with low self-esteem or shame
  • Anxiety, depression, or suicidal thoughts
  • Fear of rejection from family, friends, or community
  • Social isolation or bullying
  • Harming yourself physically and emotionally
  • Difficulty expressing what you feel to your close family members.
  • Challenges related to transition (medical or social)
