This week's Trauma Informed Tuesday shares safe boundaries for gift giving.

Gift giving can be something many people find stressful. There's a financial commitment and the want to provide for all that is close to you.

Remember to set personal boundaries on budget, quantity, and quality to ensure you are able to gift within your means. If you're concerned about a gift you may receive, set firm expectations ahead of time so that those around you know what you are comfortable with receiving, or if you prefer to not be gifted.

Consent isn’t just for intimacy, it’s for boundaries, emotional labor, plans, and traditions.

Using the FRIES model, I’m reminding myself that my “yes” should be:

Freely given

Reversible

Informed

Enthusiastic

Specific

May your holidays feel aligned, not overwhelming.
