Moody Talk #4 Sadness: Radical Acceptance Welcome to the 4th and final Moody Talk on Sadness. We cover another difficult but sometime very freeing concept - Radical Acceptance. There are many philosophies on how to achieve Radical Acceptance. The first time I had heard of the concept was from spiritual mentor Tara Brach when I saw her at Kripalu (a yoga retreat center) in the Berkshires. Today we will discuss this through the DBT skillset. In previous talks, we discussed descriptive words for sadness and their intensity as well as biological changes and mindfulness of your current emotion. Radical Acceptance uses these concepts to help to with accepting what you cannot change or fix. We discuss what Radical Acceptance is and equally important - what Radical Acceptance is NOT. Watch the full Talk on YouTube here: https://lnkd.in/e9QQzHte As always, if you have any questions or comments about Sadness, please let me know. DM me or comment below! If you are having a hard time through the holidays (and at any time) I hope you will reach out to a trusted loved one, your doctors or the 988 suicide text hotline. You are not alone. You are loved. #MyMoodyMonster #MoodyTalks #Sadness #Emotions #Grief #GrievingLoss #RadicalAcceptance #MentalHealth #SeasonalDepression #HolidayDepression

Radical Acceptance is a hard pill to swallow - who wants to accept a sad situation? Sadness usually gravitates around loss which can be permanent. By using Radical Acceptance, we can both grieve for the loss and also understand that there is a life worth living after that event.

This week's 4th and final Moody Talk on Sadness will be about Radical Acceptance. Radical Acceptance is a hard skill to WANT to use. And there is a lot of misconception of what Radical Acceptance really is. But with Sadness, which is an emotion we many times feel when a situation is FINAL, such as losing a relationship or your health. We must go through the Grief process and accept, with everything we have, that this is the reality we are now living in. We talk not only about what Radical Acceptance is and what it is NOT.

This week's Moody Talk on Sadness is about Mindfulness - what is Mindfulness? How do you practice it? And how does it play into emotions? Although it can be so very uncomfortable, it's important for us to sit with the emotion we are feeling so that we can understand it, feel how it changes your body sensations and how long it lasts. For a fresh or intense feeling of sadness, it helps to notice these feelings so that we can stay with it and work through it. Sometimes it's difficult to do this, but it helps to have a beginning and end to that moment so we can move forward. We may still feel sad, but we have accepted it and learned to move forward once that moment has ended.

We all have our ideas of what Mindfulness is - whether it's Meditation or Mindful Eating or any other form. For DBT, it's Mindfulness of Current Emotion and in our case, Sadness. Nobody wants to SIT in the feeling of Sadness. It's uncomfortable and can be downright painful if extremely intense. But by not judging the emotion and neither pushing it away or pulling in old memories, we can actually feel that feeling pass.
