Turning The Mind To Radical Acceptance

How can you practice strategic self-care when the problem you are facing has no end in sight? Therapy For Real Life Podcast host Anna Lindberg Cedar MPA LCSW explains concepts from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and adapts them into self-care skills for everyday life. DBT's radical acceptance skill is ideal for coping with stress that is outside of your control. Anna explains how DBT’s treatment developer Marsha Linehan integrated core concepts of mindfulness into her work, including the lesson that radical acceptance can also lead to radical change. Follow along in the DBT® Skills Training Handouts and Worksheets, Second Edition (pgs 342-344) for content referenced in this episode. Settle into a comfortable spot as Anna adapts the DBT Turning The Mind skill into a guided meditation intended to motivate you towards action in your own life.  Contemplate what radical acceptance means to you in your daily actions.
