Called "radical acceptance"
apparently it's simpatico with my buddhist tendencies.
I had to order it though. Hope it comes tomorrow.
I always spend an hour at the bookstore before I got to T. it's gotten to be that they know me well. I feel at peace there, somehow. Not like with my oldT how I was having a panic attack before every session.
best to you all. lemme know if you have heard of this book. remind me now and then if you want me to provide little condensed summaries of what I've learned now and then.
best to you all,

I'll be interested to see what you think. My impression was "makes perfect sense. But HOW?!" Despite this, I have been able to make some shifts. It is hard for me still to not want to understand something completely and then fix it.
Happy Reading.

I used to work for a DBT service for people with a PD, and radical acceptance was a big part of the work they did.. It was fascinating and an incredibl useful skill I think..

I've only had the book a little over a week. I guess I am fortunate because I already have some experience with insight (Vipassana) meditation, which is a big part of gaining awareness of the body, without which we cannot understand our feelings or our mind. Without which we cannot know ourselves in order to accept ourselves.
I've been meditating a few times this week. I just stood up, in fact. I know that there is some very deep stuff that I am very afraid of. The fear is almost overwhelming. almost. It is so hard to accept it for what it is. So hard not to feel eternally blemished by this fear. So easy to resist the fear. so hard NOT to resist the fear.
but it feels like the right thing to do.
now if I could get down to the "embracing" part. That part is a skill that I have very little experience with. A skill that was not valued or nurtured in my "family of origin"
hugs for my fear. I dunno. a work in progress for sure.
