When there’s trauma dumping involved, dumplings are in order. I came across this hilarious post a while back, and this poor little dumpling has been on my mind ever since.
My phone just auto corrected "trauma dumping" to "trauma dumpling," so I painted this in case anyone would like a visual of my mental state. How's everyone else doing?

So I made some of my own.
Here’s a happy well-adjusted dumpling. This one’s been to therapy, did the work, and has developed healthy coping mechanisms. Either that or it hasn’t been crushed by the world yet, but either way it’s sitting happily in its place.
And here’s the TRAUMA DUMPLING.
And I wrote up a FREE PATTERN for everyone to make little dumplings of their own! Emotional support dumplings, if you will.
Go forth, and make allll the dumplings! Just make sure to be kind to them, poor little dumplings need help sometimes too.
