I remember myself back in school, when everyone around me was criticizing politicians, listening to their fiery speeches on TV screens, and I kept wondering:
“How is it that you don’t understand — they are the same people as you are?
They have weaknesses too, and very often, just like all of you, they can’t pull themselves together because of emotions.
How are they different from you in this sense?
How?”

For people to be able to understand on their own when they are being “carried away,” when emotions take over analysis, long-term psychotherapy is necessary. And since, in this case, people’s decisions determine the destinies and lives of a large number of others, preventive emotional care could resolve a great many issues.

We all generate not only positive emotions, but negative ones as well. And that is normal.
The question is: do we know our triggers and weak spots?
Do we know how to stop in time and take a pause?
How do we deal with aggression?
What do we do when we notice that we have directed it toward revenge, toward lashing out, toward hurting someone?
After all, everything can be corrected — if you know how to acknowledge what exactly you did and why.

Our personal lives and relationships have a strong influence on all our moods and decisions. So how are politicians protected here — from themselves?
People who are convinced that they can separate the personal from the professional are deeply mistaken, because such an option does not exist — neither for the brain nor for the psyche.
A person can suppress emotions for a short time, but the moment attention shifts even slightly, they break out of control.
And everything that was meant for a partner, parents, or relatives may be redirected toward other people.

I am convinced that if politicians underwent psychotherapy, the ideas they generated would be more humane and more transparent.
Awareness would reach a new level.
And of course, this does not apply to politicians of just one single country.
This option could include all countries that are ready for a new level of qualitative growth.
