Full Show notes: https://bit.ly/WellShitEpisodeGuide

A lot of us find it hard to receive. Be it a compliment, a gift, or just genuine acknowledgement. This episode takes us through the reasons why we find receiving uncomfortable and strategies to begin to change this behavior, so that we can enjoy receiving from others more.

In this episode, we cover…

How cultural conditioning telling us that “giving is better than receiving” affects our ability to receive

How our value need can be tied to giving and how it affects our relationships

Why we can find it hard to accept compliments

How to compliment people in less problematic, and more nourishing ways

How our value need is chronically depleted

Claire and Serena give examples from their own lives

How to acknowledge the person giving when you receive something

How to recognize what is genuine and what is not

How “learning to receive is the first step and learning to receive the real value is when you get sprinkles on your sundae” - Claire Brummell
