Radical Acceptance

Life’s uncertainties and challenges are difficult to encounter, even for licensed clinicians. Although we can’t always control what’s happening – or predict what might happen next – we can develop tools that allow us to navigate “life on life’s terms.”

Unlock the transformative power of Radical Acceptance in this immersive and enriching learning experience, where you will learn how to implement specific, tangible skills that support our ability to accept the “unacceptable.”

Join us for this live, interactive workshop via Zoom, where we will:
- Explore the rich theoretical foundation...Read mores of Radical Acceptance, tracing its roots in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based practices.
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of the philosophical underpinnings that make radical acceptance a therapeutic “power tool.”
- Identify and “de-bunk” various myths related to Radical Acceptance.
We will also:
- Develop specific tools that foster the practice of Radical Acceptance.
- Examine a proposed five-step “path” to Radical Acceptance, and learn how to integrate these skills into therapeutic practice.
- Engage in a rich Q&A discussion.
- Detailed Handout included.
