Learning Acceptance in Therapy: A Path to Emotional Resiliency

Acceptance is often misunderstood as passivity or apathy, but it’s actually about fully acknowledging the present moment without resistance or denial. This practice allows us to stand between opposing forces—the reality of what is and our desire for change—so that we can respond with balance and wisdom. By embracing acceptance, we create the clarity needed to take meaningful action, grounded in our values and intentions, rather than driven by avoidance or resistance.
