[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 618791, member: 17269"] MWM, this is a great great summary, and so true. Radical acceptance, when I can invoke it, changes everything. Pain without suffering. I went to a retreat last summer that was called The Art of Suffering...Thich Nhat Hahn...so simple..his pose was that if we can learn to suffer well we suffer less. I also read Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach, which I highly recommend if anyone wants to practice, or learn tools for practice. It has saved me with my difficult child, and probably with a lot of other stuff as well (my mom's death, my SO's betrayal....well I didn't do very well with radical acceptance on that one...all of my kids, even my easy child's issues, my ex's frustrating not to say debilitating behaviors...) I would say that practicing these tools has allowed me to remain basically optimistic and resilient (for the most part) through all, and I look forward to the rest of my days.; Thank you for bringing this forward. hugs, Echo [/QUOTE]
