What do we do when our friend emotionally vents a lot and we don't have the emotional energy or bandwidth for it? In today's coffee with a therapist, I talk about how to respond to friend's venting and ways we can set boundaries and communicate in a compassionate way what our needs are as the "receivers of venting". If we don't set these boundaries, we may end up feeling resentful and distancing ourselves from our friendships and relationships. Compassionate, assertive communication is key in these scenarios and in protecting your own emotional energy.

Thanks for the Q! Feel free to join me on coffee with a therapist on Facebook live Mon-Fri at 8:15 am CT Mon, Tues, Friday and 9:15 am CT Wednesdays and Thursdays.
