Psychologists and massage therapists are reporting ‘Trump anxiety’ among clients
To the catalogue of anxieties her patients explore during therapy marriage, children, and careers psychologist Alison Howard is now listening to a new source of stress: the political rise of Donald Trump.
In recent days, at least two patients have invoked the Republican front-runner, including one who talked at length about being disturbed that Trump can be so divisive and popular at the same time, said Howard, who practices in the District.
What had happened to Trump during his childhood, the patient wanted to know, to make him such a bad person?
He has stirred people up, Howard said. Weve been told our whole lives not to say bad things about people, to not be bullies, to not ostracize people based on their skin color. We have these social mores and he breaks all of them and hes successful. And people are wondering how he gets away with it.
