The aftermath of President-elect Donald Trump’s decisive election victory last week has offered a window into the mental health struggles of Americans many of whom have been showcasing their personal meltdowns publicly via social media for the past few days.
Now a Yale psychiatrist Dr. Amanda Calhoun is advising MSNBC viewers to break off ties with family members who refused to vote for Kamala Harris and to tell them why they are being shunned.
Calhoun was a guest on MSNBC host Joy Reid’s program in response to a report that calls to crisis centers from LGBT youth had spiked by 700 percent following Trump’s win in the presidential race.
The Yale psychiatrist, whose school profile affirms that she “also specializes in the effects of medical anti-Black racism”, told Reid and her viewers that those aggrieved by last week’s election results should avoid their Trump-supporting relatives and tell them:
“You know, to say, ‘I have a problem with the way that you voted because it went against my very livelihood, and I’m not going to be around you this holiday. I need to take some space for me.’”
Calhoun called it “essential” for people to establish boundaries for their own mental health.
The doctor has not explained how urging individuals to destroy their familial support networks over political differences equals sound medical or psychiatric advice rather than simply encouraging dogmatic behavior by equating one’s ideas with one’s livelihood.
Convincing those with mental health concerns that any form of disagreement is an attack upon their very existence, appears to have more to do with combining neo-Marxism and medicine than it does with healing the sick.
Exactly. It’s malpractice giving psych advice on TV. Not to mention, the first thing a cult leader does is to demand that a recruit cuts off contact with the family
Divisive DemoRat. They’re experts at it.
Yes please.
I always heard that people that go into that field are usually there to cure themselves.
To that end, I think this one needs to do more work.
Leave it to an Ivy League shrink to provide the single worst piece of professional advice possible to those who take zhir seriously.
You must not have to take any arithmetic classes to get a doctorate in psychiatry. Amanda obviously is not aware that many more people voted for Trump than Harris. It is the Harris voters who will be shunned with her recommended anti-social behavior.
Love the kitty, hate the purple hair harridan feeding her.
Fine by me. I don’t like the few libtard family members I have anyway... and that goes back WAY before Trump.
I’d be very put off by learning that somebody I trusted would’ve turned around and voted for Kam-amok-ala. If they’d lie to me or even somebody else about something like that then I’d probably doubt their sincerity from then on.
We simply don’t invite liberal nut jobs to our home. This includes family. When invited to a liberal nut job dinner, we’re always “busy”.
I used to teach a class on cults and this is literally cult behavior. Shunning family over YOUR beliefs
This Yale psychiatrist likely had their relatives break with them some time ago. Apparently, they want others to be as miserable as they are. Most mental health “professionals” are odd LIB nitwits.
“Calhoun called it “essential” for people to establish boundaries for their own mental health”
She’s saying in a round about way that liberals, like herself, have mental health issues, well duh!
That’s nothing compared to encouraging women to kill their own children/future voters.
Convincing those with mental health concerns that any form of disagreement is an attack upon their very existence, appears to have more to do with combining neo-Marxism and medicine than it does with healing the sick.

Butchering children who are in the process of discovering their identies is a neo-Marxism form of maiming the young. It was being done for ideological and profit motives. Vanderbilt University was big on this until they started bragging how much money they were making.
Another message from an Ivy League RETARD!
Oh No!.....Anyway
Will there be a Calhountown in the future of Guyana?
