HRT and You: A blog series by Arrive Therapy
Benefits of gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) include:
Improvement in Psychological and Social Well-being: GAHT can improve psychological and emotional well-being, reduce gender dysphoria-related distress, and enhance satisfaction with one's body and gender identity35.
Physical Alignment with Gender Identity: For individuals seeking a more aligned physical appearance, GAHT helps develop secondary sex characteristics that are consistent with their gender identity. This can include the development of breasts, softer skin, wider hips (feminizing therapy), or a deeper voice, increased body and facial hair (masculinizing therapy)123.
