Therapists who spoke with Fortune this week expressed that post-Election Day felt different than usual because they, in most cases, were dealing with the same grief and fears and disappointment as their clients.

On Wednesday , nationwide mental health bookings on Zocdoc jumped by 22% between the hours of 6 and 8 am alone.

Crisis Text Line saw its volume increase by a third on Election Day .

Some therapists felt better due to focusing on others rather than their own emotions.

"The more I get to be supportive of others actually helps me process through my own thing," says Alex Rascovar .

"It does actually feel good in the midst of this dark time. Like I’m doing something," says one therapist.
