The Kosher Dragon's trash heap

Jewish folks do not owe you, an internet stranger, a discussion of their political beliefs nor their feelings on Zionism.

looking for a therapist. not sure if I just never mention that I'm Jewish, or if I say that a some of my issues stem from antisemitism and if they can't deal with that then we would not be a good match. I understand if they don't like Netanyahu but if they believe Israel is committing genocide we can't work together. and then having said that - assuming they haven't said no we can't work together which would also be devastating because it's hard enough to even do an intake interview having to risk talking about this - I have to trust that they are being honest with me, but in the back of my mind never really being fully able to trust that either 1) they don't secretly hate Israel and Jews but think they're a professional and won't let it affect them but it will regardless, or 2) they are actually malicious ( maybe to the point that they have put Jewish therapists on the "zionists do not refer" lists that are so popular with mental health professionals these days) and is overjoyed to have a Jewish patient so as to hurt me further for Great Justice (I'm a genocider remember, not really a human the same way other people are, and any cruelty and harm done to me frees palestine. what better thing could you do then get an Evil Zio to trust you with all their most intimate secrets and issues and then use it against them?)

I found my therapist through Relief! I found them to be really really helpful and professional, working with me to find someone who i would be comfortable with and would also take my insurance, and they also followed up with me a couple months later to make sure i was happy with the therapist i chose
