That has nothing to do with being nonjudgmental IMO

“Exercise: Radical Acceptance
Now, using the coping statements that you checked, begin radically accepting different moments in your life without judging them. Naturally, it will be difficult to accept very painful situations, so start with smaller events. Here are some suggestions. Check () the ones you’re willing to do, and add any of your own ideas. Then use your coping statements to radically accept the situation without being judgmental or critical.
Read a controversial story in the newspaper without being judgmental about what has occurred.
The next time you get caught in heavy traffic, wait without being critical. Watch the world news on television without being critical of what’s happening.
Listen to a news story or a political commentary on the radio without being judgmental.
Review a nonupsetting event that happened in your life many years ago, and use radical acceptance to remember the event without judging it.”
This is what it says in the DBT workbook.
Lol, I can’t even read the DBT book without being critical of it!
