Boston University law students offered therapy in response to recent Supreme Court decisions

Boston University School of Law's student government sent an email informing students of mental health wellness options and therapy after bombshell Supreme Court rulings.

Boston University School of Law students were offered therapy after three controversial Supreme Court decisions this week about affirmative action, religious freedom and student debt forgiveness.

The BU Law Student Government Association's (SGA) statement, sent out to law students Friday afternoon, denounced the three Supreme Court decisions of the week: Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, 303 Creative LLC. v. Elenis and Biden v. Nebraska.

It's a bit shocking, yes. You know you think, naw, those MAGA's don't want to take back America that far do they? Then you find out they do indeed. Some of us might need a bit of therapy. Those were rough times.

As far as the student loans go.......

Some kids came back from the Iraq/Afghan in a casket.

Others came back from the Iraq/Afghan missing legs and arms.

Others came back mentally damaged for life.

Many of those kids enlisted for the sole purpose of using the GI Bill to go to college, so please excuse us if we can't wrap our minds around some whiny ****'s "rough time"

Actually, you have nailed the main problem --- it seems many younger folks these days do not have a clue what "rough times" is really all about. They have grown up in a society that is rich in so many things and even the level of "poor" (poverty) is so high, if compared to many peoples around the planet. They live in such "rough times" that they have access to the Internet with a little Star Trek style machine and think that is just a normal thing. Take that away and they are then in "rough times". And there are more examples, but I'm going to get fried here for writing just this bit and better stop.

I remember a comedian in Britain who was making comments about hard economic troubles in the UK, and then made mention of some places in Africa as a comparison. (I think he focused on Africa. It's been a bit since I saw that stage performance.) It is probably on YouTube. I think he stated something like when aircraft started flying over some city in the UK dropping fish-and-chips, then maybe he'd consider they were having economic trouble in the UK.

Therapy necessary for a U.S. citizen because of some Supreme Court ruling? No wonder some folks in other nations are wondering about this road some U.S. citizens are traveling down and where it is going to eventually lead ? What is the true destination for some folks?

But, you know, in another thread there was a discussion about data mining and here would be a case where somebody very smart should be sure to hide who asked for that therapy. Why? The top law firms in the nation will want to know who got that therapy and be sure not to hire them.

That's the least of their problems because they'll be encountering similar, if not worse, throughout work as lawyers.
 
Law students needing therapy over a court decision?... Better have a back-up career interest, because you're in for a bunch of stress and disappointment in this one.
"Your Honor, I'd like to request a continuance so i can counsel my therapist on this matter."

Guess I'll have to pay attention if in need of an attorney in the future.
If I come in for a consultation and there is a big box of tissues on your desk, I got a few questions..

To these poor "students": If you need some kind of therapy over a Supreme Court ruling, maybe it's not the ruling that's the problem. I'd suggest looking more internally. Like that moldy blob of jello in your skull.

Imagine...the future lawyers of America need "therapy" because of a SCOTUS ruling. Scary shit.
 
So I decided to try and find a piece written by professionals that could give me a better understanding of what's up with that story the thread is based on and finally found this piece published by two doctors for the Psychiatric Times, Validation of Minoritized Experiences: It’s What’s Been Missing

Now that is one amazing piece of writing, but of the many sentences and expressions that are going to make for interesting study later, if time permits, this paragraph is ... _Well, you decide for yourself.

What Is Missing?

Interventions that rely solely on change are inherently lacking balance, and this is especially true when working with minoritized individuals who have very real and justified pain stemming from systemic problems. When only changing an individual’s cognitions and behavior, a clinician is communicating, even if inadvertently, “the problem lies within you.” This is invalidating and targets the wrong problem. Distress stemming from systemic issues must be addressed differently than problems stemming solely from ineffective thinking or behavior (eg, an individual with panic disorder who believes a fast heart signals a cardiac event).

This, though, is one loaded idea:

Thats what happens when you sign on to go fight the rich mans phony corporate resource "war".

Thats even more obscene than going into debt for an education.
"I cant afford school in my ****ed up country of idiots, so I signed up for the military to trade my life away for an education....now I have no legs."

Man, now THATS FrEeDuMbZ$™!!!!!

Education FrEeDuMbZ$™ to go with your Gun FrEeDuMbZ$™ and your Healthcare FrEeDuMbZ$™ and your Right To Work FrEeDuMbZ$™.

So AWESOME!!

Cis white males laughing at others being snowflakes is the most massive joke of all.

"This generation has never had it rough" - the only demographic that takes away the rights of others while never having theirs challenged.

Same country that murdered each other to the tune of 600,000 dead when told that you can't own other people as slaves.

Not all the snow flakes

The biggest snow flake Trump is still crying about a stolen election
 
This is sad. Would-be-lawyers should have the emotional fortitude to handle decisions that don't go their way without the need for a session with their shrink. If they need that when the decision isn't even their case, then law is not their calling.

You sure do complain alot about our freedom. Are you sure you want to live here? I think you need to move to a country that will take care of you 100% in exchange for little to no FrEduMBz...
 
For those of you on the right who like bashing these students over this, might I remind you that you guys went apes*** over wearing a mask on your face, crying about how oppressed you were, that your rights were being violated...over a mask...man, I still remember you guys screaming at me and losing your s*** when I asked you guys to put on a mask during the early days of COVID...pack of entitled little children...

Or how about the time you guys got red in the face when Obama...wore a tan suit that one time. Gasp!!!

Or my personal favorite, another oldie but goodie....when you lost your goddamned minds when Starbucks didn't put Christmas symbols on their cups one year.

You guys may want to think about that before you point a finger and call someone a snowflake.....

Don't make assumptions. I call out woke nonsense. But I also took all my vaccines and boosters, and still wear masks in crowded stores.
