Description

A groundbreaking new film, “Free to Love” tells the story of four men who found their authentic selves outside of the LGBTQ community through Reintegrative Therapy. The therapy did not seek to make them straight but to make them whole… by treating traumatic memories. All sexuality changes were a spontaneous byproduct.


“I wasn’t liking who I was becoming, I wasn’t liking my behavior,” Nathan says in the film. “It wasn’t in line with my values. I didn’t feel like I was being my authentic self.” “I sought therapy when I realized that these gay-affirming activities, and dressing in the gay man suit, putting on the gay man hat, it was really hard. It didn’t feel right,” Dennis says. “The changes in sexual orientation, they’re a result of a much deeper process of understanding myself, of getting myself unstuck from where my childhood left me.”

“Reintegrative therapy for me was finding the disparate parts of myself that had been lost and bringing them together and becoming whole,” John says.


“The term 'Conversion therapy' is broad, it’s ill-defined. There’s no ethics code, no governing body, and it’s practiced by unlicensed individuals,” said clinical psychologist, Joseph Nicolosi Jr. “In Reintegrative Therapy, the client is in the driver’s seat. The licensed psychotherapist uses evidence-based mainstream approaches — the same approaches used by clinics across the world — to treat traumatic memories. As those underlying dynamics resolve, the sexuality begins to resolve on its own, as a byproduct. And the new peer-reviewed studies are now showing that.


“Everyone should be free to find therapy and support to help them achieve their own goals and outcomes… no one else’s. Some men want to explore heterosexuality. That’s their right to pursue, if they choose," said Nicolosi.
