Trauma dumping is the practice of unloading a lot of information that is traumatic or at least some combination of upsetting, serious, stressful, etc. on someone who wasn’t expecting it or was not properly prepared for it, which can make it very difficult to handle on a social or emotional level for that person.
Therapy, because it is done in a very specific context with the other party (the therapist) being trained for it and most importantly *knowing* that it’s coming, inviting the sharing of that information, having a professional distance and relationship with the person sharing that information, does not have that same negative impact, and so it is okay and appropriate to do.
