Jallen Rix
Sexologist, sex therapist, author, and sacred intimate Dr. Jallen Rix brings both personal experience and professional expertise to questions of sexuality, faith, and authenticity. After struggling to reconcile his sexuality with his religious upbringing, he entered an ex-gay ministry before recognizing the psychological harm and false promises behind efforts to change sexual orientation. That journey ultimately helped lead him toward a career in sexology and therapeutic work. Jallen examines the religious foundations and lasting damage of conversion therapy while also working with gay men who come out later in life after spending decades in heterosexual marriages. His work centers on helping people move beyond shame and compartmentalization toward greater self-understanding, integration, and acceptance.
