Alice Bramhill•Interpersonal Psychotherapist•Coach•RNMH on Instagram: "Christmas gatherings when you’re neurodivergent.
The comments are predictable.
The boundary-pushing is exhausting.
The expectation to perform neurotypical is relentless.
You’ve done polite.
You’ve done patient. You’ve done educational.
This year, try bold and salty.
They’re boundaried with personality.
Your capacity isn’t negotiable.
Your nervous system doesn’t take Christmas requests.
Your needs don’t pause because it’s December.
Sometimes people need to taste the salt before they respect the boundary.
Save this for relatives who’ve earned the spice.
Which one are you most tempted to use?!
Number 6 is a true story on more than one occasion 🫠
Boundaries without Guilt is now half off with Save25 if you would like mkre scripts, nervous system support and a deep dive into why setting boundaries is hard.
Big Love 🩷🤓"
