Podcast Notes:
The concept of radical self acceptance is that in order to truly change yourself, you must accept yourself just as you are.
We usually think if we are kind to ourselves, then we will never change. So we hold ourselves to unreal perfectionistic standards and then beat ourselves up when we don’t achieve them.
But what if the way to change is not to be hard on yourself?
“It wasn’t until I accepted myself just as I was, that I was free to change.” -Carl Rogers
Radical self acceptance relates to chronic pain and disease in two ways
1-accepting all emotions we have is what John Sarno teaches. Pen-vent or journal to get those repressed emotions out, and then bathe them in self compassion
2-radically accept the sensation of the pain. Go into the body and describe the sensation. Do not fight it or dissociate away from it. React as neutrally as possible and send slow breath to and from that area. React to your body with compassion, not hate or fear.
Accept the sensation of pain, and send the message back to the nervous system that it can relax.
The best way to change ourself, including our perception of pain, is to fully accept all parts of ourself.
Radical!!!
