Why therapists are having such a hard time talking about Trump, suggests the new President is the single-most talked about issue in therapy since 9/11. That's right, folks, Trump is as bad, from a mental health perspective, as literally a TERRORIST ATTACK that kills thousands of people.
It's not political. It is NOT POLITICAL.
We're talking about an unstable INDIVIDUAL that we're all forced to deal with. It's mentally and emotionally taxing.
What is the damage? Consider this:

... normalizing behavior that therapists fight to reverse, including “the tendency to blame others in our lives for our personal fears and insecurities,” ... and “a kind of hyper-masculinity that is antithetical to the examined life and healthy relationships.”

THESE ARE NOT POLITICAL ISSUES. These are human, mental health and stability issues.
It is true, all politicians lie, all politicians are narcissistic.
This is different. All politicians are not like Trump.
Remember how he campaigned on not being a politician, doing everything differently, and shaking things up? He is not like other politicians, BY DEFINITION. This is different. This is not normal. If you don't see it, you're ignoring it.
