Why It Matters
This is the ground mindfulness and meditation books work on. They do not change what is happening. What they offer is a different relationship to the thoughts about it: noticing the spiral rather than being carried off by it, and finding some steadiness in a stretch where very little is steady. Some people find that quieting. Others find a practice they keep long after treatment ends.
This category is not for everyone. If reading about acceptance feels like pressure to be at peace when you are angry or frustrated, put it down. All emotions are valid and a reasonable response to what is happening, and there is no correct way to get through this.
