Have you ever met someone and your initial conversations began with their painful past experiences?
You listen to them and it seems you share similar experiences.
You begin to sympathize than empathize and try to become the adviser and fixer.
This is how emotional and trauma dumping begins.
If you are not consciously aware of who you are, if you haven't healed from the past, if you are not yet whole, you will trauma bond and get sucked into the trauma energy.
You will believe you have so much in common and you have to make the connection with the other person.
Emotional and trauma dumping are highly unhealthy and unconscious habits that lead to repeated patterns. They do not only affection your emotional and mental health but also affect every area of your life.
