Have you heard the hippest new way to complain about people who are guilty of oversharing? Let’s talk about Trauma Dumping.
When you hear someone talk about trauma dumping, it’s typical that they’re referencing a situation of a person oversharing, particularly in the wrong environment, or to a degree that isn’t welcome.
“Wait, do you mean venting?” you might be asking. And, yes… Sort of! Because what we should all remember here is that until we had the term trauma dumping, that is exactly the way this would be described — venting. But now we have this fancier, meaner way of complaining about people unloading their emotions in a way that doesn’t feel good to us.
