CAN I TALK ABOUT POLITICS DURING THERAPY?

 

We live in a time where politics are everywhere. Our country appears to be split down the middle with viewpoints that vary from person to person, state to state, and in each community. The Covid Pandemic has also polarized the country between those who choose to be vaccinate, and those who have decided to decline the vaccine.

Therapy is your safe space. Therapy allows the space to discuss your morals, ethics, and values in a non-judgemental space. Talking about therapy is absolutely appropriate to talk about during therapy. Your therapist should never argue poltitics with you, but rather respect your opinion, feelings, and understand your point of view. If you have a therapist that doesn't respect your poltical beliefs (whether or not the therapist agrees or votes the same way), it's important to find a new clinician.
