[quote=Anonymous]I am a person who has experienced immense trauma in my lifetime. Trauma dumping is not okay. It can traumatize the listeners, who are not equipped to help trauma survivors process their experiences. Trauma dumping violates boundaries and is unfair to the listener. Before a person discusses their trauma, it’s appropriate to ask if the listener is equipped to listen to them discuss it. Even with close friends. Unfortunately, as a trauma survivor, I recognize that a common feature of PTSD is to become overwhelmingly self-absorbed (been there) and considering one’s own troubles and needs to Trump those of people around them. This person needs to understand what is and what is not societally appropriate, and urgently needs mental health support.[/quote]
