In her 35 years as a therapist, Arlene Drake has never heard so many clients talking about the same issue. Week after week, they complain of panic attacks and insomnia because of President Trump. Theyre too anxious to concentrate at work. One womans fear turned into intense, physical pain. Its just a nightmare, said Drake, who practices in West L.A.
Drake was trained not to reveal her personal beliefs, but now will agree with clients if they say they dont support Trump.
If this were just another session, if this werent such a big thing, if this werent so evil, I wouldnt, she said. But I have to stand for what I stand for and that does cross over into politics.
Therapists nationwide say theyve been overwhelmed by the strong feelings triggered by one of the most divisive figures in modern political history.
Some patients who support Trump say they feel isolated because they cant share who they voted for in their workplace or home for fear of being harassed or called xenophobic or misogynistic. With few people to talk to freely, they turn to online forums and their therapists.

We already knew the Left was unhinged. Seems Trump is helping them by giving them a reason to seek help. Amazing how much Trump has helped people. A bunch of women went out and walked for a day. Michele Obama never accomplished so much in 8 years. Now people are seeking help for the emotional and mental conditions, which liberalism is such a disorder.
