Heidi Kling psychologist Understanding Radical Acceptance

Dr. Heidi Kling08 Feb, 2025Health

Radical acceptance is a fundamental principle in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) that encourages individuals to fully acknowledge and embrace reality, including painful or distressing experiences, without judgment or resistance. This concept involves accepting things as they are, rather than how one wishes them to be, and relinquishing the futile struggle against circumstances beyond one's control.
