    For me the answer to trauma dumping is remothering. When I hear others' bad news, trauma or negativity, I speak to myself gently and remind myself I'm safe and that's not my reality. The little girl inside needs that reassurance especially when you grew up in chaos and it feels familiar.

    Once I started going to therapy, I realized that I had to remove my ex best friend from my life. Over 15 years of the same thing. She was the exact description of this video! Always the victim, no accountability at all. I got tired of the constant complaining about her life but not taking steps to fix it. It’s been 5 months since spoke to her and I truly do wish her well and I hope she heals. I’m protecting my feminine energy no matter who has to go!!!🥰✨

    I was the trauma dumper. Just bleeding out all over the place. Flapping around in an uncontrolled sea of emotions drowning myself and the others who were genuinely (I think) trying to help me.
    I had a friend whom I've recently let go. 20 years. But what happened was I went in. I went in to my dark places while this friend decided to spread the legs WIDE. While I went to school she was around town. I never said anything. I let her be who she was. But all the while I was CHANGING. I got a life coach. I lost 62lbs. She had baby #4 at 38. What I noticed is little by little the little slick side shots were coming. The little comments that stayed with me that I had to think twice on. It took me a long time that instead of my growth inspiring her to change she let her ego get the best of her. I'm not saying anything I'm walking smooth away. Bc women who are not taking action to improve themselves will grow to dislike you very quickly. When you decide to be more do more it makes some people very SCARED you become a threat to them.
    I feel sad about walking away but we no longer have anything in common. When I mentioned I got a life coach, I felt the snicker. But I am committed to loving myself and the reward... The fruit of self healing has been extremely rewarding. I am rising and I have to leave them behind although I've shared my secrets fears and tears. I AM NO LONGER MY TRAUMA SELF. And so those relationships have expired. It feels terrible to walk away but I have to bc they remind you of who you Arent. They intentionally try to keep you on their energetic level. I'm free.......... I healed.

    This was my mother and this is now me! I used to hate being around my mother growing up and I swore I would never be like her. I am codependent, as is she. It wasn’t easy feeling responsible for another person’s emotional well-being growing up. I realize she was very emotionally immature and thought I could fix all of life’s issues. As a young adult I see how wrong being put in this position was. Now I am in control of me!
    No one is responsible for your emotions/healing but you! Life truly starts outside your comfort zone.

  • @Amalthea16
    @Amalthea16 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    I've been the therapist friend before, and it is mentally and emotionally draining. It can take a toll on your personal life too. What really made me open my eyes to the issue was these people would never reciprocate for me or would act like their problems take precedence over everything else. Even moreso, when I tried giving them advice, they would make excuses or dismiss it in order to continue to complain and feel sorry for themselves. It's one thing to be there for someone, but it's another to be their on call therapist. In my experience, the only way to deal with these people is to set firm boundaries with them, or possible distance yourself if they really don't change at all.

    I have allowed myself to be trauma dumped on for a few years by a so-called 'friend'. Recently, I got a word in edgewise to say something I believed but which she resisted seeing about herself. Suddenly, from considering me a friend of hers, she sees me as Enemy Number One, even defriending me for a while until she decided to relent and give me a second chance!! I've seen the light and am very happy and relieved to end the friendship myself.

Watch out for this nefarious technique carried out by men who don't have the resources to court a feminine woman they consider to be high maintenance or above their level. Once I saw the pattern, I set a boundary that I don't have male friends and that has saved my nerves, if nothing else.

Black people really are socially engineered to use friends as therapist and my energy is too valuable. I noticed that I was just wasted my time putting out other People’s 🔥, they never learn, or got are real solution, and I was left drained. I called all my power back, elmiminated discractions..Ladies, I learned just because you know what a person “ should do” don’t mean you should tell them.. I like Chloe when you said simply say you don’t have the bandwidth to unpack their trauma. Additionally, I notice trauma dumppers only wanted to dump their trauma when it was time for me to dump my trauma they were too busy…My moto is Focus 🧘‍♀️ Focus on Me .. H.E.R. Pouring unto yourself is the best investment you can ever make💕🦋 Thanks Chloe ⭐️

She just wanted someone to validate her and didn’t want to take responsibility or get a therapist who would help her. Just constant negativity. I rarely feel a need to vent or be negative, I don’t understand people who make this their whole personality

After I tried warning her several times about these men, she blames me. It is very hard because now I don’t have no friends. In the end, I know it’s Gods way of protecting my peace 💞

    I used to always be the one to try and rescue people from their problems, the listening ear and I never truly became drained until I dated an abuser who tore my life apart. For 6 years I'd only known isolation from friends and family, domestic violence and fighting for my life in and out of court. I recently went on a trip with my girlfriends and simply having a conversation and sharing our perspectives led to my girlfriends, whom I haven't seen in 6 years, telling me my perspectives were negative and that I was spiralling down a dark hole. I was surprised they felt that way and I really hope I wasn't trauma dumping. I learned to really do a double take on myself and my words to be sure I didn't put a damper on everyone's moods just by talking. And long before we met up I had been getting therapy and long resolved my past issues, but reminiscing and using my experiences as examples in conversations really seemed to bother my friends. They shared theirs as well, but theirs weren't as dark as mine so it wasn't a problem. I almost feel like I have to be fake and stifle or water down and sugarcoat my true experiences in order to save everyone's mood.

    This was/is the very topic of my 1st therapy session TODAY! This message is INFINITELY on Pointe! I've realized that from a very young age, I have been groomed by my mother going back as far as I can remember to take care of her! I was her friend, counselor, therapist, advocate, husband, caretaker, and even mother at times. It has bleed into just about we every area of my life & how I interact with the world. The struggle is real to let myself "off the hook" as the savior of everyone I come into contact with. THIS is getting into the ultimate WORK of my own salvation & emancipation! It's up to ME to give myself freedom; NO ONE else's permission is required! Ashé

    Chloe this video was very beneficial for me. I have the gift of being a great listener and also having poor boundaries so I’ve come across multiple Trauma dumpers in my lifetime and still have one I need to cut off. I’m going to implement the tips suggested in this video and find a therapist to help me enforce boundaries.

    We all have trauma, issues, or personal problems. A good therapist or counselor is a necessity. Most jobs have Employee Assistance Program (EAP) where you can get 10 counseling sessions a year from a licensed social worker as part of your benefits package. Thanks for video Chloe.

I’ve said this a few times already “ I need to seek a therapist, I am constantly overwhelmed with and over working with stress . I feel my body weakening. Thanks again for the reminder to seek help

    I'm afraid say I'm currently trauma dumping. Before anyone harangues me it's not due to trivial matters. I've just escaped an abusive 2 year relationship. He was battling cancer for 18 months of the relationship and I stayed far longer than I would've done due to his cancer. He got the all clear and I left the next day. Then the following week my new home was burgled. The thieves were caught and one is now in prison (with other extensive charges) and the other is on bail. The family of one of the thieves has been sending me death threats. I started offloading because I was bubbling over with anxiety - the worst thing is I'm trauma dumping on strangers and its got out of control. I was seeking a TH-cam channel to see if I could get tips on how to deal with it. So, thanks to this feedback, arranging an appointment with my therapist is the next call I'm going to make. 🌷

They was always giving the least anyway , so when I say something about it or reach out, they say how they are sad or still in mourning months andI months. Wow I was just thinking about this. Great video … I love this channel

    Miss Chloe, thank you for this. I have a lot of trauma dumpers in my life. They make the wrong decisions and when it all falls apart they are looking for me to rescue them. You said something very crucial, they want you to solve their problems without them making an effort on making corrective actions. Trauma dumper are bad new.s. That can kill you. I am working on removing them from my life or have some boundaries. This video came at the right time

    Whew sometimes you are in the villain in someone else's story and its hard to face. I believe I am a recovering trauma dumper. This is a great video and all the points are true. Sometimes trauma dumpers don't know at the time. When i was in college I was so lost and I spoke to anyone looking to be understood and really for guidance and acceptance. I was hurt that noone helped me but they couldn't and it really wasn't their responsibility to. I did recognize the cyclical cycle I was in and slowly found my way. I will say some of the few things that made me a trauma dumper was
    1. I stayed in toxic situations (work, relationships, friendships and family) too long to the point they overwhelmed me
    2. I was a people pleaser; neglecting my own needs serving others and so was hoping others would also sacrifice for me
    3. Lack of self love and self acceptance
    Ladies if you are guilty of this please immediately change especially if you doing this to family/friends currently in your life. Learn to honour your own boundaries (this teaches you to honour others'); learn to self-soothe; practice forgiveness; practise listening more than you speak in conversations; consider a video diary where you speak to yourself or an actual diary; therapy if you can afford it.
    And for the ladies who have been dumped on I am sorry. However listen to Chloe, put up strong boundaries eventually one will have nowhere to go and have to face themselves; thats usually the catalyst for change.

    Similar - a friend who always down plays my issues ( even though I’m really upbeat and always try to find ways to cope rather than moaning ALL the time like she does) eg ……well at least you can have an operation for that or ……..at least you pain isn’t stopping you from doing things you want to ………always thinks she is worse off, it would be funny if it wasn’t so exhausting ! Im in the process of letting them go, as tbh mentally it’s exhausting me and also it’s not mentally healthy to be around people like this imo.
