Is it just venting?
You might look at the above scenario and think, “Well, that’s a normal thing friends do – they share what’s happening in their lives.” But there are some dynamics that push this into the therapy zone, rather than the friend one. For example, if your friend just wants to vent, that’s fine. But if she relies on you to provide the answer to all her problems, before you can move on talking about your life, you may fall into the therapist role.
