As a psychotherapist, I try my best to calm down my anxious clients. But in this case, I inadvertently triggered a panic attack.

God referencing recent volcano eruptions.
If all those who are worried about their carbon foot print would just OFF themselves, think how much nicer the earth would be... Mother Earth would be soo happy, she might just blow off another volcano in celebration, which of course may wreck havoc on the rest of us, but I digress...
It’s hard to imagine but the left really is getting hysterical.
Bag taxes?
Styrofoam cups are evil?
They’re descending into irrational, emoting angry. Children. All of the left. It’s like Lord of the Flies, on a national scale.
Is it any wonder why this woman is in therapy?
“I’ve got a Higher Power already, and His name isn’t Barack.” Strange words for a psychotherapist from Berkeley.
