After all, why do bad things happen to good people?
And why do our good intentions sometimes go horribly awry?
When were faced with tough situations or unfair circumstances, our tendency is to fight against them.
Verywell / Julie Bang
Unfortunately, refusing to accept a situation creates a lot of unnecessary suffering.
This is something I often see as a therapist.
Some people who come into my therapy office have spent years fighting against reality.
Consequently, they havent been able to heal theiremotionalwounds.
Thats where radical acceptance comes into play.
But, its a skill that even those who dont have borderline personality disorder can benefit from learning.
