Trauma Tax

Definition: When a therapist weaponizes your vulnerability by accusing you of “trauma dumping” every time you share literally anything heavier than brunch plans, despite that being the entire point of therapy. Characterized by audible sighs, eye-rolls, and zero actual coping strategies offered. The practitioner essentially bills you for the privilege of shaming your lived experiences while implying you’re emotionally littering their office. Bonus points if they frame your humanity as an inconvenience to their Spotify playlist queue.
