I circle around UCLA’s Moore Hall for the third time. Security officers block each entrance. Police in riot gear patrol the streets. Metal fences wall off the building from protesters, and barricades separate protesters on the left from those on the right. Everyone prepares for Donald Trump Jr.’s arrival to promote his new book, “Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us.”
As a trauma therapist who works with women and refugees — and who practices on Canada’s west coast — I admit that I live in a progressive bubble. I’ve never met a Trump supporter in the flesh and the psychiatrist in me is curious: What puzzle pieces of life experience could come together to produce a world-view so opposite to mine? I hope to chat with a Trump voter to try to understand.
But then I see my first MAGA hat.
My mind floods with images of climate activist Greta Thunberg crying “How dare you?” and white men marching in straight-pride parades, wielding swastikas, guns and Confederate flags. I envision immigrant children warehoused in cages and online comments that scream, “Go back to where you came from.”
I tense up and glare at the man in MAGA. I want him to feel unwelcome, unsafe and, mostly, to feel shame.
I’m at UCLA to attend a psychotherapy course to learn about these kind of moments — when big emotions short circuit our mind’s higher functions so we can’t think or behave skillfully. The professor playfully called it “boom time.” In other words, we’re triggered.

Hey Joanna, you fugly, Californicated loon, it was your hero Obama who put ILLEGAL alien children in cages, NOT President Trump.
Now Joanna, go buy yourself s vibrator with Hillary Rotten Criminal’s picture on it.
“...She wants me to feel shame? I certainly can’t claim to be proud of everything I’ve ever done but....”
...But if it’s something that pisses her off and makes her look for her “safe space”, then HELL YEAH, I’m proud of it.
I saw a car on Saturday and the driver had a MAGA hat on the parcel shelf and a People’s Party of Canada sticker on the back bumper. Unfortunately, it was too cold to wait for the driver to come out to the car, where I could shake his hand!
It was good to see, however.

Looks like the southbound end of a northbound jackass...
With amoebic dysentery.
Sorry.....not much of an improvement
I’ve never met a psychiatrist who didn’t need more help than they were capable of giving.
What a warped moron.
I think she is the professional help!
This idiot claims that the bare act of viewing the MAGA hat automatically triggered her feelings of loathing and revulsion. As a psychiatrist, she should know, as Epictetus taught, that “People are not disturbed by things, but by the views they take of them.”
Yikes. The prognosis is not good.
These people are insane.
Unwilling to even tolerate being in the presence of someone she considers beneath contempt - like crackers in 1950’s Alabama or something- segregationists and violent race supremacists. - that’s the committed leftist. Just nasty people.
Geez, I feel like a globe trotter since I know MAGA folks and haters as well.
Note to myself, see about getting a crate of cheap RC trucks with MAGA hats on them.
Canadian?
WTF is she doing pontificating on US politics? GTF back to the frozen North and STH up is my advice.
(You will note that a SANE Canadian psychologist by the name of Jordan Peterson pointedly AVOIDS commenting on anything political other than Canadian politics - and then mostly talks about his own youthful experience).
Well said!
I think this lady needs to get out of Los Angeles.
The smog, and the effluvium from the feces on city streets, has caused a massive chemical imbalance in her brain.
B.S. degree = Bull s***
M.A. degree = More s***
Phd degree = Pile higher and deeper
She teaches NONSENSE courses that will do NO ONE any good at all--NO JOB value.

cognitive behavioral therapy??
mindfulness-based interventions??
dialectical behavioral therapy?? She made this one up.
and psychodynamic therapy??
BALONEY!!
Is she a descendant of Eleanor Roosevelt?!?!?! *LOL*
