"My patients were in a state of shock and grief, like at the funeral of someone you love and did not expect to die. And I felt the same way as my patients. As a psychologist, I was trying to help others deal with a negative event that affects us all. It is like the therapist is taking on a parent role — but in actuality, the patient wasn’t a child. My patient felt like a child due to overwhelming fear, so I had to take on the adult role and seek a solution"
Yup, the abandonment of my successful fitbit/Loseit strategy has been supplanted by the very frightened kid I was my whole life after my father died.
It is more than returning to old habits "slumming with the old Bonnie". It is more basic, it is that heart in my throat constant fear that I am trying to "relieve/ relive with a shortbread cookie or buttered bread.
I am a terrible grown up. I am certainly thrown by the stupidity and fear engendered by the Trump win.
