Emotional Dumping
Manage episode 348831884 series 3278947
I said to a friend once, “I am afraid to leave my boys at home alone with their father.”
She said, “That is quite alarming and not okay. Why do you say that?’”
I realized right then how incredibly difficult this is to explain. I was not afraid for their physical safety. He wasn’t going to hit them. He wasn’t going to throw things and scare them. Most of the time, he wasn’t even going to yell at them.
But he was going to emotionally dump on them. They were trapped victims to this horrible form of emotional abuse. Something I was even struggling to defend against. They stood no chance.
Venting is a healthy way of letting our trapped feelings find voice and expression. It releases those feelings so the person venting can begin to feel better and look at things more rationally. This is extremely different than emotional dumping, where no one walks away feeling better. Instead everyone feels beaten down and worthless. Today, I explore those differences so you can see and decide for yourself what is happening in your relationship.Individual coaching sessions right now are on sale for $99 per hour through the end of December.

Group sessions are on pause for the month of December and will begin again in mid-January.
