Radical acceptance is a DBT skill that helps us suffer less by teaching us to accept things as they are.
This doesn’t mean you have to like it.
It also doesn’t mean you approve of it.
It doesn’t mean you stop working to change what you can. It means you stop fighting against the reality that is already here(Be Present).
Sometimes, pain is just unavoidable.
We often make our pain worse by asking ourselves questions like:
“Why is this happening?”
“This shouldn’t be happening.”
“I WON”T/CAN”T accept this.”
Radical acceptance means saying to yourself:
“I may not like this reality, AND I can admit: It is What it IS..”
From there, you Accept reality.
Then choose your next response(Action).
Reach out if you have any questions 💯🫶🏾
