CLASSICS REVISITED: Creating a Safe Space for Decision Making (opens the original)
Read excerpt

CLASSICS REVISITED: What is Radical Acceptance? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Radical acceptance involves understanding that much of what happens is out of your control, and using strategies to calm, distract, and soothe yourself. The goal is to avoid catastrophizing -- envisioning and preparing for the worst outcomes. Radical acceptance means letting go of what you can't control, experiencing feelings and pain, but without increasing agitation, reactivity, and suffering. The support group that Kayla facilitates is now offered on a sliding scale. (Cost should not be a bar
