The velvet rage

Book • 2005
The Velvet Rage is a chronicle of the emotional journey of gay men, exploring themes of shame, anger, compensatory behaviors, despair, and the quest for authenticity and self-acceptance.

The book is based on contemporary psychological research and personal anecdotes, offering a path to emotional well-being and an end to self-defeating behaviors.

It outlines a three-stage concept developed by Dr. Downs, charting the course from denial and rage into authenticity and providing a toolkit of skills for cultivating an authentic life.
