Life Is Hard Podcast
Acceptance is Hard
What is acceptance? How do I accept a reality that I do not want to be true? In this episode, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Jackie explore the skill of radical acceptance-- an extremely useful and powerful tool to try when there is nothing you can do to change the reality of a situation you are in. If your partner breaks up with you, if your friend blocks your number, if your job fires you, or even if you are stuck in traffic---the most helpful thing you can do is practice acceptance.
