Emotional Funnel

undefined:

An emotional funnel is a headmate who steals and/or waters down the emotions of other headmates. This is considered a role.

Related Terms
A rationaliser is a headmate who helps their system rationalise (i.e, argue, relativise, promote critical thinking, avoid overthinking or irrational decisions); this traumagenic-exclusive role may be complementary to an emotional funnel because rationalisation helps to dissipate emotions, especially intense/irrational ones.

An emotion holder can hold positive or negative emotions.

History
The term was coined by Petrichor Voices. The flag was created by Tumblr user belinhagamer999 on October 22nd, 2022.
