It may be Christmas, but that doesn’t make trauma dumping and overstepping boundaries OK:
, long-standing recurrent painful patterns of trauma are particularly present during the festive season, as undigested experiences come to the surface under stress.
And what’s more, trauma dumping isn’t just upsetting, insensitive and inconvenient, it can have some long-lasting impacts. “A person may continue to feel a sensation of dread and helplessness in their body long after actual traumatic experiences. Trauma may also damage a person’s capacity to have close, trusting relationships.”
And while no one wants to leave their loved ones in the lurch when their support is needed most, it’s important to remain honest with yourself about your own ability and needs when supporting others.
