63 | Letting go of being the “therapist friend”

from Your Own Medicine Podcast · host Kali Somatics

In this episode we explore both sides of the fawning coin - being the therapist friend and being the emotional dumper. I cover why emotional dumping happens so frequently and why it might actually feel like true emotional intimacy for those of us who are recovering people pleasers. I also explore alternatives to mainly bonding over shared trauma or being a hostage to someone's intense life stories - as well as what to do instead of sitting frozen while someone recounts some "much-to-personal" information.
