Something I've been thinking about a lot about lately is the concept of "receiving."
It is a theme that often arises in my work with clients because it is struggle for many of them. Receiving, be it a worthy fee from clients, a raise or promotion from an employer, and/or support from the people in our lives-financial and otherwise-can create what one of my clients so aptly termed, 'the squirm.'
Women in particular have difficulty with receiving. For example, think about how you respond when someone 'gives' you a compliment. Are you the type to say "I've looked better" when a friend compliments you on your appearance? As women, we are raised with cultural messages to put others' needs before our own, to not really know and honor our own needs, and/or feel indebted if we do receive. Our identity as women often entails being a 'caretaker' of others, not leaving much room for 'care-receiving'.

A New Study Of The Giftware Market By Unity Marketing Identifies Key Opportunities For Future Growth
Where people buy gifts is changing dramatically with more people saving time and money buying gifts over the Internet, rather than going to the store to shop. This according to the latest market research study of the $65.2 billion gifts and decorative accents market conducted by Unity Marketing.
In 2007 the Internet was the second most important shopping venue for giftware shoppers, trailing only discount department stores as a place of purchase. For purposes of this study giftware is defined as items that are designed and manufactured to be bought and given as a gift or collectible items that are designed and manufactured specifically for the purpose of collecting. The giftware market includes items such as occasion-specific giftware, personalized giftware, character-licensed giftware, collectible figurines, and others.
