Answer 1

Reparative therapists have used many techniques over time, but the current focus is on counseling, both individually and in groups. Often this involves identifying subliminal emotional needs behind same gender desires and attempting to replace them with non-sexual means of expression, usually by encouraging the subject to form a non-sexual, emotional bond with another adult of the same gender. Counselling might stress perceived health and other risks of same-sex attraction. Most therapists come from a religious, usually Christian, perspective, and implement religious instruction, prayer, fasting, and meditation into their methodology. Secular techniques include reading and sports or other physical activities.



Some techniques (which were also used for a wide array of other perceived psychological and psychiatric issues) are no longer used, such as such as electroconvulsive therapy and aversion therapy (such as showing subjects homoerotic material whilst inducing nausea and vomiting through drugs).
