Some days it's hard to believe it's been 2 years since Helene happened in our community. Some folks in our community are more focused on the growth that has happened since Helene, and some folks are still hurting and feeling the devastating impact of the storms. Other folks are somewhere inbetween. This short meditation is an offering to you, no matter where you might fall on the spectrum to focus on the growth, the pain, or whatever else you might be experiencing.

This month, we cover the topic from DBT (and other sources) of Radical Acceptance. Oftentimes, life throws curveballs toward you. Something you just weren't expecting and really don't know how to deal with. When these things happen, it can be easy to not know how to get unstuck from pushing against what is happening. Radical Acceptance is a strategy to help us find a path forward once we accept what has happened. Radical Acceptance is often misunderstood, so in this episode, we cover what Radical Acceptance is, what it isn't, and how to practice it. If you have any comments or questions, we welcome you to leave us a comment or review here, or feel free to reach out directly.

This episode outlines the 6 stages of the WRAP and how you can utilize it to help yourself better care for your needs.

Welcome to SEASON 2 of Soul Sessions from All Souls Counseling! We're continuing the theme of Therapy 101 to break down some of the more common types of therapy with as little "therapy speak" as possible. It can be confusing to seek out a therapist when you don't know a lot about the different approaches that therapists might use. Hopefully this episode will help. If you have any questions or comments, please reach out. Music credits: The Good Life by Sarah McCoy (used with permission) The Sound of Leaving by John Hayes (License code: ZUKI7YI2P1KJDLRN)
