31: Not Everything is "Trauma Dumping"- How Therapy Speak is Killing Friendships

When did telling a friend about a tough time become "trauma dumping"? In this episode, we dissect how misusing therapy concepts is creating barriers to authentic friendship.

In conversation, we tackle:

  • The viral text where someone got accused of "trauma dumping" for simply mentioning their grandmother died
  • What trauma dumping ACTUALLY is vs. how it's being misused to shut down normal conversations
  • Why you CAN'T trauma dump on your therapist (that's literally what they're there for!)
  • How "annoyance is the price you pay for community" might be the most important relationship concept we've forgotten
  • How Amanda and Sam balance their friendship in different life stages, and our real thoughts on how if single women and moms can be friends
  • Amanda's strategy for overcoming chronic flakiness when you don't feel like showing up
