There are two types of therapists. The woke one goes along with the progressive agenda and does not question its validity and only validates the woke progressive ideas of the client. The other recognizes that woke, progressivism and leftist policies are damaging to the wholeness of the human being. That these agendas are based in fundamental tenants of cultism and irrational thinking. If you must follow the left, the progressive and the woke without question, you are indoctrinated into the zombie cult of woke-ism. And if that client encounters a therapist that uses motivational questioning, the solid indoctrination of the client devolves into emotional dysregulation meaning anger, tears, hysteria, name calling etc. The sad thing is that the people who need therapy the most are the most resistant to it! The only option is to continue to pray for them and do your best as a therapist gently, slowly and calmly confront their irrational belief system though CBT.
I had the good fortune to take a full day course with Alber Ellis who stated there are three ask irrational beliefs systems that don't work and that if we live our lives by these beliefs, we will have anger, depression, anxiety low self-esteem and fear to take action. These are: 1. Everything needs to be perfect and you cannot make mistakes (utopian wokeness). 1. Everybody must like me, love me and approve of me. (homophobia, racism, snowflakism, micro-aggressions etc.) 3. Life has to be fair, easy and hold guarantees. (equal shares, restitution, equal wages without equal work, and my favorite DEI).
In addition, the cult aspect of the progressive left are: (from google)
Symptoms of a cult include:
1 Absolute authoritarianism without accountability (Biden/Harris et.al , Wars, Open borders)
2 Zero tolerance for criticism or questions (Bedin, news media etc)
3 Lack of meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget $35 Trillion in debt)
4 Unreasonable fears about the outside world that often involve evil conspiracies and persecutions (Look what the left has done to Trump)
4 Sudden and intense devotion to a new belief or group, often accompanied by a marked change in personality and priorities (Transgender mutilations, loss of freedom of speech. abortions as the norm, turning away from God making Gov. god)
I can go on and on with examples. It is both a culture war and a spiritual war. Think about what I said from a therapist's perspective.
It is why I am a Christian conservative, which give me the freedom to choose between good and evil. It is the beauty of God's system. The ability to choose and the greatness of redemption and atonement.
Here is another example: What I just wrote may cost me my license. I am not allowed by governement to speak these words. It goes agains the cultism of woke.
