Radical Acceptance: Moving Past Tragedy Into Wisdom and Courage

Description

“Acceptance” does not refer to a passive and fatalistic stance on life’s events; rather, it is the clinical term for acknowledging difficult circumstances, responding to them in appropriate ways, and beginning to create healthy pathways forward. So, rather than “accepting” our lot in life as though nothing we ever do could ever make a difference, we are choosing to accept the reality that these are our circumstances now and we must take action to rectify them.
