Available at: www.shorturl.at/jBHJV Complex Borderline Personality Disorder: How Coexisting Conditions Affect Your BPD and How You Can Gain Emotional Balance. Available at: shorturl.at/bxB05 Radical acceptance is when you stop fighting reality, stop responding with impulsive or destructive behaviors when things aren't going the way you want them to, and let go of bitterness that may be keeping you trapped in a cycle of suffering. What are the main points of radical acceptance? We should stop resisting and start considering every thought, feeling, and sensation with an open heart. This is radical acceptance. Even those unwelcome feelings that everyone has sometimes, such as disliking someone, we shouldn't give ourselves self-criticism, but rather accept them and move on. 4 ways to practice radical acceptance: 1. Slow down whenever you feel yourself start to self-judge. 2. Remember that every setback is a learning opportunity. 3. Avoid comparison. 4. Lean on the adaptive behaviors that remind you that thoughts are fleeting. Daniel J. Fox, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist in Texas, international speaker, and a multi-award-winning author.
