And one more thing

About Radical Acceptance. I really wish I could find those notes, but I'm can't, so I'll just tell you two things I think you need to know. Keep in mind that I'm no Marsha Linehan, but I'll do my best.

1. Radically accepting does not mean that you think what happened to you is ok.

2. If you decide to radically accept, you'll have to do it over and over. The anger will return again and again, and you'll have to accept again and again. I think Marsha Linehan calls it 'turning the mind.' You'll have to turn your mind again and again.

It ain't easy. Radical acceptance is not for weaklings or the faint of heart.
