Gunnar_Zarncke comments on “Just Suffer Until It Passes”

Ozy, in their sequence on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

I can’t find it here on LW. Can you point me to it?

Radical Acceptance says, “It’s okay to screw up. …”

I recently attended a meditation retreat organized by the Berlin LW group. Buddhist meditation is a lot about seeing yourself and your needs and actions as it is. Seeing pain as pain. Seeing feelings as feelings and distractions as distractions. In a way the thoroughness of this could be called radical. But it goes beyond acceptance. Acceptance relates to or alters your identity. But Buddhism goes farther: There is nothing to accept. Which part of you is doing the accepting?
