Terapeutas tuvieron un día difícil después de las elecciones. Esto es lo que ocurrió.

Therapists play a crucial role in supporting individuals during times of crisis, and the aftermath of the 2024 election was no exception. The emotional toll of the election results impacted therapists personally, as they navigated their own feelings of grief, fear, and disappointment. Despite facing their own struggles, therapists remained committed to providing a safe space for their clients to process their emotions.

As mental health bookings surged and crisis lines experienced an increase in calls, therapists found themselves working harder than ever to support their patients. Many therapists shared that their own self-care routines were put to the test, as they grappled with the emotional weight of the election results. However, focusing on the well-being of others provided a sense of purpose and helped therapists navigate their own emotions.

Ultimately, therapists demonstrated resilience and compassion in the face of adversity, highlighting the importance of mental health support during challenging times. By offering a listening ear and a safe space for healing, therapists played a vital role in helping individuals cope with the aftermath of the election.
