What does your therapist say about the presidential campaign?
I've had 3 long-term therapists. Two were politically liberal or at least anti-Republican. They were pretty up-front about it. One (a closeted gay guy) had some conservative views.
There was an article in 'American Psychologist' a few years ago that said psychologists are left-leaning and intolerant of their conservative clients.
I heard that decades ago, it was dogma in psychoanalysis that the analysts must never express a political opinion. Some said they should not even vote, for fear of unconsciously influencing their patients.
Do you know how your therapist will vote?
