Ep. 128: What do Donald Trump's Reactions to Being Indicted for the Crimes of Jan. 6 and Beyond Reveal About His Mental and Emotional Health?
Q: What sort of mind literally dresses like him, acts like him?
It's identification with the aggressor, a wish to be safe on the side of a killer rather than being killed by a killer.
Ep. 128: What do Donald Trump's Reactions to Being Indicted for the Crimes of Jan. 6 and Beyond Reveal About His Mental and Emotional Health?
Q: Help me understand this type of male aggression.

Q: How do you know when a breakthrough with a patient is going to stick?
