Active listening skills are important on both sides of a friendship. It's healthy to vent... but when does venting become toxic?

There's a thin line between venting and trauma dumping. We want to hear about the daily annoyances our friends experience with work, family and social lives... but casually dropping information about trauma into a brief conversation can be problematic for the person listening. If you have found yourself forced to bear the burdens of your friends' problems OR you have wondered if you said a bit too much in a casual convo... listen in!

We read some threads from the AITA subreddit last week and discussed what we would do in those situations. Laugh with us while you listen: https://stream.redcircle.com/episodes/8caecec3-596e-4c01-b6aa-124c3d2b14e8/stream.mp3
