Experts share what you can do for your mental health amid news that Brett Kavanaugh will likely be confirmed.
Brett Kavanaugh is likely being confirmed to the Supreme Court. And for many, that news feels devastating.
Several women have publicly accused Kavanaugh of sexually harassing or assaulting them when he was in high school and college in the 1980s. The discussion surrounding those accusations has been particularly difficult for sexual assault victims, who have heard politicians dismiss survivors’ pain amid a barrage of news coverage and heated conversations about Kavanaugh. The judge’s controversial Supreme Court bid has also triggered memories that many survivors have worked extremely hard to move past.
The Kavanaugh hearing “may cause individuals to re-remember the abuse, have memories and flashbacks. People may also experience guilt and shame if they reported or did not report. Anger and helplessness are also common,” said Elizabeth L. Jeglic, a licensed clinical psychologist, psychology professor at John Jay College and a sexual violence prevention researcher.
If you’ve been struggling with Kavanaugh’s nomination and recent news that the Senate is likely voting him onto the Supreme Court, here are some expert tips for self-care right now:

Ya know, I love all the radical Dems stuff right before an election. I honestly believe if you look back to summer 2016, BLM was mutant like they were told to stand down. Thankfully Antifa was still causing chaos.
Wow. Fat, ugly and ignorant is no way to go through life.
A couple of liberal wymmins I know can’t do either.
Sad in at least one case. Other than being a blind liberal, a rather nice woman otherwise.
The other might have been say 30 years ago.
What an outright lie. Which pols have dismissed survivor's pain? GTFOOH
They’ve been very charitable about acknowledging the self-professed pain of self-described “survivors.” It’s the demand to turn over the country that was “dismissed.”
In video clips that ran a little longer than your gif, Triggly Puff actually ran out of breath form that bit of arm waving.
13. Avoid situations which could potentially trigger traumatic thoughts and emotions. For example, any events related to politics. Like voting. Definitely avoid voting in the midterm elections.
17. Get laid
13. Eat until stuffed and purge. Wash, rinse, repeat.
“Even if she admits that it is a lie, the libs will still believe her original story”
We don’t want her to admit it. We want oceans of evidence that can’t be refuted that proves she lied. It’s the only way to remove the cloud over Kavanaugh’s seat on SCOTUS.
Nip it in the bud now, or else the antics will be even more extreme with Trump’s next appointment. This time it almost worked, and they know how to tweak their narrative and lies to be successful when RBG is replaced. Does McConnell really want to go through this again? Do we really want the life of another conservative jurist destroyed?
At the core of leftism is a deep, vile hatred of God and rejecting His morals & values.
——oceans of evidence that can’t be refuted that proves she lied——
There can be no refuting evidecns. There is no refuting evidence.
To counterattack, there must be prosecution for lying to congress. There are several discrepancies in the Ford testimony that can be prosecuted. Her lies are much more substantial and provable than those for say Martha Stewart.
Move to Mexico; if that doesn’t help go straight to Venezuela.
Are women really incapable of functioning as responsible adults?
14) Don’t breed.
You're a man; you'll think of something.
“To counterattack, there must be prosecution for lying to congress.”
That’s what I meant. To prosecute, evidence of lying will have to be exposed.
Expose/prove every lie.
Prosecute.
Maximum sentence / fine / penalty.
