Politics as a Mental Illness


Never thought I'd say this -but- today I am thankful for DORA (Colorado's Regulatory Dept).

I work in the mental health industry.

I tire of hearing stories of conservatives harassed by leftist therapists. I am literally shocked at the sheer numbers of therapists and teachers who harass conservatives.

These professionals typically go after strangers and coworkers.

Today, I learned that a therapist allegedly went ballistic on a patient she thinks likes Donald Trump.

I am livid.

I'm no Trumpette.  I think Hillary should be wearing orange.

I'm an equal opportunity hater and a porcupine at heart.

I'm hoping the patient reports the therapist to the regulatory board for investigation.  Make no mistake, this event is not without damage.  It is a breech of trust and safety.  How can any therapist get a client to talk if he or she does not approach professional practice with unconditional positive regard?

People are to be respected.
All voices deserve to be heard.

Sigh….

I need to find a new office now.  I don't want that nasty therapist's energy all over my practice.

I have a plan.  It's not a very good plan.  In fact, it's a stupid plan.

It may work.

Yes, I'm looking for a new workspace.

I'm also going to deface my car with a Trump bumper sticker and a camera.  Trump bumper stickers go missing from cars in the parking lot.  My thought is that I can get this idiot arrested if she takes my property so she can't hurt another struggling soul again.

Maybe if I wear a MAGA hat, this idiot will punch me and I'll shove the errant therapist's ass in jail.  I'm old and ugly.  She can't do much more damage to my face.

If she steals my hat, I'll have her arrested for theft.

Maybe I can confuse the bad therapist by wearing a red cap that states in white lettering:

MAKE 

THERAPY 

GREAT AGAIN! 


Damn it!!!

****

I'm going to put this tidbit right here while I ponder the line I will use to decide when to report the abuses I see and hear about.

Most therapists who are not in private practice work for taxpayer funded non-profits.

My warning is directed at those therapists working in a non-profit setting and their organizations:

IF YOU WORK FOR AN ORGANIZATION THAT SURVIVES OF OFF STATE FUNDS 

DO NOT -

 LET ME REPEAT

DO NOT....

HARASS CONSERVATIVES OR REPUBLICANS. 

THE REPUBLICANS OFTEN VOTE FOR YOUR FUNDING. 


You never know who goes to speak during committee hearings at the capital and who can bend the ears of lawmakers.  

I hate to say it.  Right now, even in my own industry, I'm not so sure my words will be positive. 

Please change that. 

Stop traumatizing the patients.

Love, 

Your friendly neighborhood libertarian psychotherapist

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing?  I imagine they sing songs like this.   I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call  but   wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again.  I probably should document this somewhere.  My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis.  She is his cousin.   I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law.   She wanted me to plan interventions.   This happened with a baby shower.  It also happened with a wedding.  The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car).   I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004....

Visiting the Graveyard in my Hometown and Addressing Fears I'll Soon Join the Party

 Today I am thankful for a laugh.  It didn't start out funny.  My aunt visits once a week to use the washer and dryer.   My new dryer broke just a few days out of warranty so we dried her clothes outside. While standing outside, she took me aside an said "I don't want to alarm you, but....." then she got silent.  I pointed at the shed.  "Are you worried about all the stuff pulled out of the shed?", I asked.  "Yes.", she replied.  "That happens all the time!"   She advised me to chain the door.  I've done that.  The thief just tears the roof off.  It's easier just to keep crap in it I don't care about so the thief can rummage and take what he or she wants.  Again, I was advised to consider moving, especially after finding a full gas can in the mess.  My aunt is afraid my ex-husband is going to kill me.  I've been court-ordered to live here for another two years.  Sigh.... I'm sure a judge would allo...

Temporary Ending

Dear Readers: Over the past three weeks, I attended both a city councilperson's town hall and the mayoral town hall. Despite battling the flu, I dedicated two days to watching all available city council meetings and study sessions on YouTube in between bouts of cold chills. What I observed was a troubling pattern of disregard for honesty and disrespect towards citizens, the rule of law, and the influence of partisan politics. It has become evident that certain issues transcend the scope of a mere community art project. This realization prompted me to raise my voice, a departure from my usual composed demeanor. After discussing the situation with my family, we collectively decided to remain in Aurora. It is clear that true leadership entails making tough decisions rather than simply following personal desires. I look forward to the opportunity to address these concerns further in a different forum. Warm regards, S.  P.S. There will be a new website.
