Post Election Selection Trauma

MIAMI (AFP) - Shocked supporters of defeated US presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) 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 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.

"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.

"It's like post-traumatic stress syndrome, but it's a short-term shock rather than a childhood trauma," he told the daily.

  1. LOL

    No, but I'm glad you're reading up on it.  That way when it happens to you, you will know the signs and can go to your doctor for some advice on how to handle it.


  2. Oh that's not nice.  Don't you know it's no nice to make fun of the uneducated and mentally handicapped.

  3. if anyone should be suffering from trauma it should be those evil coporate goons the republicans!

    theyre probably praying for another disaster so that they can "rescue the day"a nd blame iran

    I will be damned if that trigger happy republican becomes pres. I cant even imagine the disaster!

  4. No, but thank you for reminding the American people about the troops that come home with PTSD from the Republican Iraq war.

  5. I fully expect another close election, with massive election fraud and underhanded maneuvering by the oil companies (richer and more powerful than you can possibly imagine) who have a lot to lose under Obama.  My guess is they're not going to let McCain lose.  So I'm hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst.
