Therapy Thursday # 13: How to Accept All the Clownery You Can't Change
TOPIC: Radical Acceptance - taken from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
WHEN TO USE: When you're having trouble experiencing grueling, painful realities. I used to use this to mourn and move on from breakups. Try this to soothe any trauma such as the passing of a loved one, acceptance of an addiction, change in health, or realizing you need to seek help. You can also use it for less-pressing situations like, "fuck, I really need to do my laundry." The possibilities are truly endless.
