Gretchen Kubacky, Psy.D. (Ask Dr. Gretchen)

I am coming to you today to talk about the concept of acceptance, or opening up. It's something that I talk about in my new book, "Moving Through Grief: Proven Techniques for Finding Your Way After Any Loss" and which is written through the lens of ACT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The book is broken into several short sections with a bunch of written exercises that you can do in your own journal. ... It walks you through a process of getting in contact with what's going on in you in the present moment, establishing your own values, taking action that matters to you, that keeps you moving forward even when you are in the midst of your grief, and it introduces several concepts including the ACT concept of acceptance, opening up.

Instead of shrinking, shrinking, shrinking... ...getting smaller and smaller and smaller... ...and tighter and more fearful, scared, sad, anxious, miserable, and withdrawn...... what I want you to do is take a breath, decide you're going to accept and allow yourself to start expanding. I want you to really visualize yourself expanding your mind, heart, and even moving your body in a way that expands and opens up so that you can allow the energy in you to flow freely. For your thoughts to flow freely instead of getting stuck in all of the sad, bitter, melancholic places that they may be getting stuck in as you are grieving.

Coming to terms with your pain - we do that through something called acceptance. And acceptance doesn't mean that you say, okay, fine, I got it, it's good, I'm going on, but then you're really secretly miserable and hating life. What it means is that you are accepting the duality of life and of death and of loss and of grief and of gain. Everything has a flip side and you can switch your perspective on it from the negative to the positive by simply saying, "I may not like t...his and I'm going to accept it."
