Deep dives

Understanding Radical Acceptance

Radical acceptance involves completely acknowledging a situation or individual’s true nature, especially during the divorce process. It does not mean condoning or agreeing with their actions, rather it is about recognizing reality as it is presented to you. Accepting that a high-conflict personality has shown consistent behavior can be incredibly difficult but is essential for moving forward. This acceptance allows an individual to confront painful truths, including their choice to be with someone who cannot offer the love and support they need.
