  10. 🧵Trauma dumping 2 of 2

    Where to actually get help:
    Paid therapist (sliding scale options exist)
    Crisis lines (free, 24/7)
    Group support: AA, NA, SMART Recovery, grief groups
    Community mental health centers
    Employee Assistance Programs (EAP)
    Online therapy platforms (BetterHelp, Talkspace)

    Before you share pain with a friend:
    Ask if they have capacity
    Set a time limit
    Check in during the conversation
    Thank them after
    Offer reciprocal support

    Real #connection honours #boundaries.
    Trauma dumping violates them.
