Today the NY Times published an interview with a woman named Dea Bridge who advertises herself as a conservative therapist in Colorado.

I had the exact opposite experience. I was seeing a clinical counselor for maybe a year. Somehow we got to talking about Trump. She totally lost it. Went on and on about how Trump is a narcissist and an evil person. I never saw her again after that. Totally unprofessional. Any counselor with integrity would tell you you can’t long distance diagnose a person as being a narcissit.
I remember watching that episode live when it was broadcast, and I was with the secretary of a psychologist! We laughed like hyenas!

I don’t think she believed me but it planted seeds.
