To the catalogue of anxieties her patients explore during therapy — marriage, children, and careers — psychologist Alison Howard is now listening to a new source of stress: the political rise of Donald Trump.
In recent days, at least two patients have invoked the Republican front-runner, including one who talked at length about being disturbed that Trump can be so divisive and popular at the same time, said Howard, who practices in the District.
What had happened to Trump during his childhood, the patient wanted to know, to make him such a “bad person?”
“He has stirred people up,” Howard said. “We’ve been told our whole lives not to say bad things about people, to not be bullies, to not ostracize people based on their skin color. We have these social mores and he breaks all of them and he’s successful. And people are wondering how he gets away with it.”

Maybe Donald Trump should be made illegal, since his very existence is a macro-aggression against the sensitive girly-men and hairy lesbian crowds that infest the East Coast. What right does he have to upset people? The Constitution forbids nasty words and meanness, doesn’t it?
LOL...they never reported the 0bola anxiety, among clients.
Trump is the only cure, for that.
Well, I am equally distressed at the thought of Hillary being the next president. After having suffered through the Obama years, it’s very distressing to think we have four to eight more years of Alinskyite horse blank in the White House, and more socialism, and distress that this woman will change the Supreme Court into a liberal rubber stamp.
But are conservatives allowed to feel such feelings, or are only liberals allowed to feel angst about what’s happening in the political world?????
“Local psychologists and massage therapists are reporting...”
Oh yeah, I get that magazine, “Shrink and Kink”.
Alison is supposed to be a ‘safe space’ for the little pussies, not bellow out about her collective clients’ misplaced sissy feelings. Safe Space, Alson.... how hard is that to understand.
[Reply predicated on the assumption that this Alison Whatever is actually real - you can’t tell with something from WaPo]
Further proof that the political establishment are not just tone-deaf to the popularity of Trump but more importantly, tone-deaf to the entire electorate outside of the belt-way.
Tone-deaf to the 1994 Contract with America, the Tea Party, Trump, Cruz, Carson, Palin....even Bernie Sanders. Grass roots movements are a hostile threat to the establishment on both sides of the isle.
Are we much far off from a civil war??
**We’ve been told our whole lives not to say bad things about people, to not be bullies, to not ostracize people based on their skin color. We have these social mores and he breaks all of them and he’s successful. And people are wondering how he gets away with it.**
Snowflakes.
Not say bad things about people, UNLESS they are straight, white conservatives. Then it's open season, both in public and in movies, TV shows, etc.
What he's really saying is "We used to be able to utterly destroy people for making just one politically-incorrect remark. Until Trump".
They’re no different from the college campus snowflakes. “We need a safe place.”
Gee, it’s almost like they haven’t noticed the current President’s demeanor and behavior over the last eight years...
My guess it’s just a workup to building a case for depression and an SSDI case, frankly.
Did you notice the semi-veiled assertion that Trump is racist in that spiel?
I’m sick to death of the race card - even when played anonymously like this.
There’s a good remedy for all those metrosexual libs that are suffering from angst over Trump. It’s called a noose. I hope they use it.

The moron apocalypse pushes on. “Trump anxiety” not “Hillary anxiety”, no no no, she is perfectly OK.
Poor poor snowflakes.
And the liberal Meltdown begins.
