One of the most counterintuitive truths about cbd: the struggle against it often makes it worse. Acceptance — clearly misunderstood — is one of the most powerful tools available.
What Acceptance of CBD Actually Means
Acceptance does NOT mean:
- Liking or approving of cbd
- Giving up on getting better
- Thinking cbd is okay
Acceptance DOES mean:
- Acknowledging cbd without adding unnecessary struggle against the fact of its existence
- Allowing cbd to be present without fighting it into bigger problems
- Making room for cbd while still living your values
The ACT Approach to CBD
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses acceptance as a core tool: instead of fighting cbd, you learn to make room for it while committing to valued action regardless.
The Paradox of Accepting CBD
Many people find that when they stop fighting cbd and simply allow it, it loses intensity. The suffering of cbd is partly the struggle against it.
