In one sentence

The Therapist is the friend people privately message to vent, because they listen well and give balanced advice.

The deeper read

At some point, everyone in the group has sent you a message starting with 'can I vent for a sec?'

You listen, ask the right questions, and know when to give advice and when to just say 'that sucks'. People feel safe telling you things.

The tricky part is that you hold a lot of other people's stories and rarely hand yours over. You're allowed to have a messy week too; share it.

Setting a limit on the 1am calls is self-respect, not selfishness. Lurkers keep your secrets as carefully as you keep theirs, and Voices of Reason back up your advice with logic.

💞 In relationships

If your group has a Therapist, ask about their week before you start venting. They'll be surprised, and they deserve the question.
