[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If anyone finds a tactful and actually HELPFUL way to say this let me know because I definitely have some friends/acquaintances who “trauma dump” (thanks for the new word) and it’s extremely uncomfortable - and I’m also realizing, not helpful to their mental health either. [/quote] +2 I’m friendly with a woman who had a stillbirth two years ago. She was hired for a temporary role in my department in late 2021. She would (and will) bring this terrible loss up to anyone who will listen - even in professional environments - and makes me and others extremely uncomfortable. I stopped listening to her dumps and started saying “this might be a better conversation with your therapist.” She obviously has a lot of unprocessed emotions around her loss, but not everybody is equipped to shoulder that pain for her.[/quote]
