It is crucial for liberals to establish limits with Trump-supporting family members during festive occasions, according to a psychiatrist.
Dr. Amanda Calhoun, the chief psychiatry resident at Yale University, stated on MSNBC that it is acceptable to avoid Trump voters and explain the reasoning behind it.
During the holiday season, a mental health expert advised MSNBC viewers that it is acceptable to disconnect from family members who supported President-elect Donald Trump.
On Friday night, Dr. Amanda Calhoun, the chief psychiatry resident at Yale University, discussed coping strategies for liberals who are struggling to deal with Trump's re-election, including the possibility of distancing themselves from certain loved ones.
If you find yourself in a situation where your family members or close friends have voted against you, it is perfectly acceptable to avoid them and explain your reasons.
According to a recent report from The 19th, Reid stated that there has been a 700 percent increase in calls, texts, and chats from LGBTQ youth to The Trevor Project since the election.
The host questioned how individuals should engage with family members who voted for Trump, whom she accused of opposing Americans' rights.
"I wonder if people are also challenged by the idea of interacting with those who voted for this."
If you are an LGBTQ person or a woman who knows someone in your family voted against your rights or heard a man use derogatory language, you may be triggered by JD Vance's comment that Kamala Harris is 'the trash' and that they will 'take out the trash.'
"I have a problem with the way you voted, which goes against my livelihood, and I won't be around you this holiday. I need some space for myself."
Calhoun emphasized the importance of setting boundaries with family members for one's mental well-being.
