Shownotes

Join Dr. Ferghal Armstrong and Dr. Laura Petracek in this enlightening discussion about Radical Acceptance—a powerful concept that can lead us towards healing and empowerment. Radical acceptance is the process of acknowledging that we have the resources to move forward despite life's challenges. By embracing this mindset, we can alleviate suffering, reduce substance use, and foster healthier relationships.

In this video, Dr. Armstrong and Dr. Petracek delve into the key steps of radical acceptance. The first step involves recognising the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour, empowering us to set boundaries. Next, they explore how clients can change their lives by seeking support, such as counselling services or shelters for those in abusive situations.
