Where’s Perry?

I just saw an article about the donors at the COVID-infected NJ fundraiser are freaking out.

That's fun and an angle I haven't necessarily thought of. (Also, donors don't want to back a loser.)

My first thought was that it's a trick, but, again, everyone knows we have a headline culture. Not a lot of room to get crafty and play chess.

But who knows.

Oh wow
Anyone else extremely attracted to this voice?

Ah, he was on hot mess recently and talked about how he was annoyed with political correctness. What can I say! Cancel culture is bad and so on.

Let’s see if he goes there again on this episode.

Ok i liked him better here.

Trump definitely new he had Covid when he met with his donors.

What a life...
 

I really loved/enjoyed this guest. I hope he attracts all things good in life.

Side note on the therapist, I really think you didn’t give her enough credit. Even assuming that she was attracted to him, in that case it wouldn’t have been right for her to treat him if she saw that she might be in danger of crossing a line with him, which is detrimental to a therapeutic relationship. It shows a refreshing self-awareness to know when a patient wouldn’t be appropriate for you.

Also, manipulation in the mental health/therapy field is very real and very common as you might imagine, as many people who seek therapy (or are forced into it by being blue/pink-sheeted) aren’t necessarily ready to start the process and give the therapist all kinds of bullshit, for lack of a better word. As a complete noob who’s been doing some psych rounds, I’ve already seen it quite a lot. It may have been that she misperceived him as manipulative, or saw the potential that he might become so judging his intelligence, and so cut her losses early. From my limited experience, the more intelligent the patient, the less direct-able they seem to be (I’m aware of how shitty this sounds).

I’m sensitive to the fact that his run-in with this rejection completely put him off therapy and hurt him. Sometimes, finding the right therapist is a process. But I’m glad whatever he did/is doing is working for him, and frankly he has more willpower than many.

Oh yeah.

And I think I got a complimentary empathy boner out of this one too lol.
