I'm Afraid of Trump

A woman suffering from a deep-seated fear of Donald Trump questions her many thoughts about him. "He will create concentration camps," she has written on her Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet, "cause a nuclear war, and ruin the environment. I want him to not be president, to disappear, or at least to get a better, kinder set of cabinet members. He should step aside and offer the space to Hillary Clinton or another Republican candidate. Trump shouldn't say things that are racist, sexist, able-ist, homophobic, and xenophobic." Slowly, with Katie's help, she questions these terrifying thoughts, sometimes with the help of the audience, and the heaviness of the thoughts begins to dissolve. After completing the inquiry, she has a moment of insight, as she realizes that it is the thoughts that create her fear, not Trump. She proceeds to tear up her Worksheet in a flourish of delight, to cheers from the audience. Katie turns to her with a smile and says, "You've just made America great again!" © 2017 Byron Katie International, Inc. All rights reserved. For more information, visit thework.com
