In this episode, we speak with Amie Allanson-Dundon, LPC about navigating politics and the pandemic in session. We discuss Election Stress Disorder, what it is, how it impacts clients, and how to help clients when they experience it. We also look at the appropriateness of discussing politics in session, how to handle clients trying to gauge your political beliefs, and what do when countertransference comes up in session. Finally, Amie explains how to support clients that are experiencing overwhelming responses to the election, and she provides a blueprint for creating treatment goals for these political responses.
