Traumatized Kerry supporters in Florida seek therapy: report
2004-11-09
The Good News keeps on comin'. "Doc, I just... don't know what to do!!!"
Shocked supporters of defeated US presidential candidate John Kerry are seeking help from psychologists, who refer to their condition as "post-election selection trauma." The Boca Raton News reported Tuesday that Palm Beach, Florida trauma specialist Douglas Schooler alone has already treated 15 clients and friends with intense hypnotherapy since the Democratic candidate conceded on November 3.
I wannna kill, doc...
"I had one friend tell me he's never been so depressed and angry in his life," Schooler said. "I observed patients threatening to leave the country or staring listlessly into space. They were emotionally paralyzed, shocked and devastated," he told the daily.
...and I'm raking it in hand over fist!
"We're calling it 'post-election selection trauma' and we're working to develop a counseling program for it," said Rob Gordon, the Boca Raton-based executive director of the American Health Association.
Wonder if Kerry's got it? Wonder if he'll put in for another Purple Heart?
"It's like post-traumatic stress syndrome, but it's a short-term shock rather than a childhood trauma," he told the daily.
...and a gravy train for us. Step right up, Wussies!
