Existential therapists for Remain

This is the study referred to in N Cohen's Observer piece (see blog below) 

The author of the study begins with a statement that illustrates her commitment to what passes as validity and objectivity for existential therapists:

From my perspective it seems as though our leaders appear to live in a daze of self-deception and denial, exhibiting a strange determination to continue burning bridges that we have spent many decades constructing and that are essential to our connectivity and survival.

Then, with a collaborator, (s)he:

did a short survey of 1300 UK citizens [selected how?], who had voted to remain in the EU...The results are depicted in a word cloud [dubious coding and lazy, weak quantification] and show... Theirs are strong and deep emotions. They feel devastated, angry, depressed, betrayed and ashamed, nearly two years after the referendum....This is intense and intimate stuff. What has happened to them is personal. They feel their lives have been totally changed by what has happened. The vote has struck at the core of their identity and continues to dominate their everyday experience.

we should also remember that, in addition to the 16 million who voted to stay, there were at least 5 million potential voters who were disenfranchised from the vote and who would have been likely to vote remain as well [EU citizens in the UK and vice versa] ....As a psychotherapist I have worked with many people in this position and some of them are truly devastated because they have nowhere to turn. Not everyone can obtain settled status and many people have no home or family in their country of origin. They are British to all intents and purposes and should have been offered the sanctuary of dual nationality straight away. They feel as if [!] they have lost their identity and their human rights.... hundreds of thousands [well --some in that 1300 in the 'short survey' anyway] are so deeply hurt and upset that they have either already left the UK or are planning to do so after Brexit.

And a sales puff for the existential therapy business (although this bit of it is free) :

the Existential Academy (a community interest company) created the Emotional Support Service for Europeans (ESSE)in the UK, which provides prospective clients with up to ten sessions with a qualified therapist/psychologist who has chosen to volunteer their services...a free service provided via phone and online. It is run and supervised by registered existential therapists and aims to provide support to those whose mental health has been adversely affected by the current climate of unrest and uncertainty.

It is not clear if that is unrest and uncertainty just down to Brexit, nor is it clear if the therapy involves telling people to calm down and carry on rather than developing paranoia (say in the spirit of the Graun advice 25th January below)
