An Aspect of Therapy Conservatives Often Overlook

August 29, 2026

Many conservatives remain skeptical about the role therapy now plays in society. They note that therapists tend to lean left, a bias that can alienate patients who don’t share those political views. They argue that therapy can foster self-absorption and emotional fragility. They oppose extending the therapeutic mindset, fearing that people will go through life forever fixated on terms like “trauma,” “boundaries,” and “triggers,” and so on.
