With the new year, comes New Year’s resolutions. For many, they’re finally taking their mental health care seriously. Or, at least, pretending to. Some Seattleites are complaining they can’t find therapists who meet their woke requirements.
The new requirement for some is that their mental health care provider shares their “intersectional identities.” But some are speaking out after not being able to find a therapist with the same gender identity and race.
Welcome to the burgeoning woke movement of segregated health care.
...apparently difficult to find a therapist in Seattle. That’s the claim by Seattle’s wokest columnist, Naomi Ishisaka from the Seattle Times, where she serves as the assistant managing editor for diversity, inclusion and staff development. Borrowing from her own experiences and those of readers, Ishisaka says finding a therapist (especially one covered by one’s insurance) is a “soul crushing exercise.”
“It can be even more soul crushing when you are trying to find mental health support that is culturally competent around race, sexual orientation or gender identity,” Ishisaka says.

Well these people clearly do need their mental health evaluated.
The insane looking for the insane to tell them they’re not insane....got it.
The new requirement for some is that their mental health care provider shares their “intersectional identities.”
That’s because “intersectional identities” is a severe psychiatric problem requiring help from a MALE or FEMALE psychologist.
“...not being able to find a therapist with the same gender identity and race...”
In other words, they are RACIST!!!!!!
Just imagine how soul-crushing it must be for a woman to be treated by a male OBG!

This is awful! If anybody needs psychotherapy, it’s Seattleites!
RE:culturally competent around race, sexual orientation or gender identity.
So ask that of paramedics arriving in an ambulance, surgeons at the emergency room and police officers after your 911 call from the bedroom saying home invaders are inside your house and coming to kill your family.
Be absolutely sure of their status of social wokeness.
They are very lucky that they can’t find “therapists”. You’re chances of going insane or committing suicide increase greatly if you are dumb enough to see “therapists”.
Never employ or patronize the Woke.
Looking for a health care provider as crazy as you are seems a bit counter productive.

My 99-year-old mother wants a therapist who is also a WWII vet!

An old woman goes to see a doctor complaining of incredible gas.
"Doctor, I keep passing gas constantly. They're quiet and don't smell but it's annoying. Why, I've passed gas four times since coming into the exam room."
The doctor writes her a prescription and tells her to come back in a week.
The woman barges in two days later. "Doctor, what did you give me? These pills made it worse. Not only am I still passing gas, now they smell horrific!"
The doctor looks at her and says, "Good, good. Now that we've fixed your sense of smell, let's address the gas."
Sanity is more precious than gold. Prolly more valuable too in these days of lunacy with an over abundance of leftist lunatics.
The 2nd worst thing about hell is that it’s the grandest insane asylum in the whole universe.
Sometimes I think this country needs a good natural disaster like a volcano erupting in the Pacific NW to obliterate Portland and Seattle.
People need some real life issues to deal with to smack some of this nonsense put of their heads. Nothing like struggling to survive to keep batcrap crazy distractions from being an issue.
Everyone is all about the “mental health” these days. That’s why there is a huge shortage of therapists. Kids never learned how to cope. The parents call the Campus health center day and night complained they can’t get a therapist for their kid who is freaking out over a grade.
It’s not surprising that people need help when they declare misery into their lives constantly
Who are these therapists?
IWANT ONE!
Name them!
Actually, what’s soul-crushing is looking for a doctor who cares enough to keep looking for solutions beyond all the most obvious and popular diseases! Especially during this hyped-up disease time when they shut you OUT!
They worry about mental health?
If they really did, they’d recognize the insanity of the last 2 years. First childish fear over a minor bug, then excusing and enabling rampant unfettered rioting and declaring all of it “totally justified”! In reality, all these “problems” they IMAGINE are just non-sequiturs. Yet this whole society is gripped in this nonsense.
These are not only “first-world problems,” these are pampered, debt-fed, self-absorbed idiot first-world problems.
