Today on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen explain the term "Radical Acceptance," which comes from a therapeutic modality called DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). They discuss the difference between radical acceptance and invalidating our feelings, how to work towards this kind of acceptance, building up our distress tolerances, how many of us were taught to resist our emotions, toxic positivity, when radical acceptance is not appropriate, why it takes time, and so much more! Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
