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 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 youve been struggling with Kavanaughs 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:

Not one word about seeking God, attending church, seeing a pastor. Yup. It's all about them. And when pain comes, they will not turn to God.

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. Very good!

Yup, Pelosi and her “tactic” to smear. I am amazed she admitted that in front of C-SPAN cameras.

10. Limit alcohol consumption. That's terrible advice. Booze, my liberal countrymen. Booze is your answer. Booze and plenty of it. And remember Liberals - be sure to turn out to vote, Wednesday, November 7th.

At the core of leftism is a deep, vile hatred of God and rejecting His morals & values. So true.
Psalm 55:22
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.

Drink plenty of Gatorade to keep up your hydration and electrolytes so I can continue drinking your salty tears of defeat. I don’t want you dried out when Ginsberg keels over.
