Therapists Recommend Libs to Join Group Crying Sessions, ‘Forest Bathing’ to Cope With Trump’s Inauguration
As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to reclaim the White House, the left’s reaction has taken a turn for the absurd. Time Magazine, once a respected publication, has descended into self-parody with its latest report on “science-backed” activities for liberals to cope with their “sense of hopelessness” on Inauguration Day.
The article, which reads more like satire than serious journalism, suggests that distraught Democrats engage in group crying sessions and “forest bathing” to manage their anxiety over Trump’s return to office.
These recommendations, coming from so-called mental health experts, reveal the depths of desperation gripping the liberal establishment.
Emiliana Simon-Thomas, a psychology expert from UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, advises liberals to exercise, perform acts of kindness, and smile at strangers – as if these basic human activities were revolutionary concepts.
The suggestion that “fifteen perfect-form jumping jacks” can compensate for perceived powerlessness in the face of Trump’s policies is both comical and patronizing.
Perhaps the most laughable recommendation is the call for communal crying.
Time Magazine asserts that shedding tears with like-minded individuals can accelerate recovery from grief. This infantilization of political discourse is a stark illustration of the emotional fragility that has come to define the modern left.
Other suggested coping mechanisms include volunteering, journaling, and creating vision boards – activities more suited to a middle school guidance counselor’s office than serious political engagement.
The recommendation for “forest bathing” takes the absurdity to new heights, with therapist Anindita Bhaumik waxing poetic about the humbling experience of standing before a mountain.Conservative filmmaker Robby Starbuck aptly summarized the situation, calling Democrats “weird” and labeling Time Magazine “an absolute joke.”
