The Washington Free Beacon reports that the State Department decided to hold two different therapy sessions following the recent presidential election.
The first one was held shortly after the election, with a second one about a week later.
"Managing stress during change," read an internal State Department email sent across the agency that encouraged employees to attend a one-hour session in which they could discuss their feelings about Tuesday’s election results. The department’s Employee Consultation Services in the Bureau of Medical Services hosted the session, according to a copy of the email notice described by sources to the Free Beacon.
"Change is a constant in our lives, but it can often bring about stress and uncertainty," the email said. "Join us for an insightful webinar where we delve into effective stress management techniques to help you navigate these challenging times. This session will provide tips and practical strategies for managing stress and maintaining your well being."
Not all at the State Dept. were pleased with the email. The Free Beacon notes that, “One source described the meeting as a "cry session" over Trump’s victory, which is likely to usher in wholesale change at Foggy Bottom.”
A source noted there is "lots to unf—k" at the State Dept. after four years of the Biden-Harris administration.
Indeed. It seems there is.
The State Department is using taxpayer funds to provide post-election therapy sessions for employees. End this. https://t.co/tfxsah5lzr

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) wrote a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken this week: "I am concerned that the Department is catering to federal employees who are personally devastated by the normal functioning of American democracy through the provision of government-funded mental health counseling because Kamala Harris was not elected President of the United States."
Issa claims that "nonpartisan government officials" shouldn't be suffering a "personal meltdown over the result of a free and fair election."
