From "Right Voices":More than a dozen traumatized John Kerry supporters have sought and received therapy from a licensed Florida psychologist since their candidate lost to President Bush. A Boca Raton trauma specialist said he has treated 15 clients and friends with “intense hypnotherapy” since the Democratic nominee conceded last Wednesday. “I had one friend tell me he’s never been so depressed and angry in his life,” he said. “I observed patients threatening to leave the country or staring listlessly into space. They were emotionally paralyzed, shocked and devastated.” Some mental health professionals in South Florida said Monday they have already developed a new category for the Kerry-related stress reactions. Because Palm Beach County voted heavily for Kerry, the therapists said, many residents hurt themselves by so anxiously expecting the Massachusetts senator to win – especially those who maintained unrealistic recount hopes after their candidate’s concession. “We’re calling it ‘post-election selection trauma’ and we’re working to develop a counseling program for it,” said Rob Gordon, the Boca-based executive director of the American Health Association. “It’s like post-traumatic stress syndrome, but it’s a short-term shock rather than a childhood trauma.” ***************************************** REPLY:Kerry lost – - that could be sad for some. I know I’d be discouraged a bit if GW had lost – - but for people to say this is the most traumatic thing they’ve ever been through. They are more angry than ever before. Depressed beyond compare. Where were they during the wars our nation has fought? Where were they the day President Kennedy was murdered? Where were they on 9/11? Where were they the day a loved one passed on? Perhaps it’s just me – - but I don’t get this at all.>>>
