This election season has been stressful. Women (and sexual assault survivors in particular) have reported leaning on their therapists during this trying time, with many patients’ anxieties being tied to a potential Donald Trump presidency. In fact, the American Psychological Association came forward to outline some tips for those women - and men - coping with the very real Election Stress Disorder. Avoid political discussions, limit your media consumption, vote.
Since advice like, “Turn off the news feed. Stop reading everything if it just gets you more stressed,” isn’t always entirely helpful, we’d like to propose an alternative, or more accurately, supplementary treatment for those finding it increasingly difficult to deal with all this bullshit: Watch. Bob. Ross. And lots of him.
