And "acceptance," too, like growlycat said. I'm so depressed that I can't get out of bed and function as a human being, but if I just accept it, everything will be fine! La di da!

Yes, and there are things that happen in life that are just so unacceptable that I think it takes major cluelessness to push this on a client.
One T advocated "radical acceptance" to me and I simply said, I am not the Buddha. That kind of put a stop to some of the cheesiness.
