I was a therapist for over 40 years, and some times you have to be gentle
and let people be where they need to be.

Other times you have to know when to kick some ass and drag them out of the holes
they have dug for themselves, or out of harm's way.

Right now most of us are in shock and quite afraid.
We don't know what our lives will be like for the next four years.
A lot is at risk, finances, medical, housing, family safety, etc.
This is probably what we should be thinking about and taking survival action.

So I think it is time to be gentle and not press too hard.
