When a gift carries expectations, how do we respond with care?
Giving and receiving can bring connection, appreciation, obligation, and pressure. Join Ariel Landrum and Lindsey Jonin to explore the cultural messages and personal rules that shape these experiences, both in clients’ lives and in the therapeutic relationship.
Through discussion, three interactive scenario polls, and a blackout poetry art experiential, we will examine ethical gift decisions, consultation and disclosure, documentation, and safeguards for client-created artwork. We will also explore ways to support a client-directed plan for navigating gift-giving expectations.
