97. Why Trauma Dumping Happens And How To Stop It When You Really Like Someone
About this episode
Have you ever walked away from a conversation thinking… why did I say all of that?
In this episode we talk about why trauma dumping happens, why insecure attachment makes us overshare too fast, and what you can do to slow it down so you feel more grounded, confident, and connected in your relationships.
You might want to listen if:
• You overshare when you feel anxious or want someone to like you
• You crash into a shame spiral after being vulnerable
• You mistake urgency for intimacy
• You struggle to regulate before you communicate
• You want to understand the real attachment based reason trauma dumping happens
