My former T and I talked about politics rather frequently. We are both very liberal.

I have no idea what my current therapist's position is. I'd probably cry if I found out he was republican. Not sure if I want to ask him now--i'm scared to find out. However, from what I've seen, there are many in the field who are liberal. Come to think of it, I hardly know any "bootstrap" people who work in the mental healthcare field. But people can be fiscally conservative while being socially liberal. It's not as black and white as I just painted it in this post.
