Dr. Antonia Pieracci talks to the Huffington Post about Radical Acceptance during COVID19

Antonia Pieracci, a clinical psychologist and founding partner of Cognitive Behavior Therapy Associates of Denver, spoke with HuffPost about how radical acceptance can help people face difficult realities without becoming stuck in resistance. She explains that radical acceptance means letting go of the struggle with reality and allowing things to be as they are, even when that reality is painful or not what we wanted.

In the article, Pieracci connects radical acceptance to mental health, especially during moments of anxiety, grief, and uncertainty. She emphasizes that acceptance does not mean approval or inaction. Instead, it can create the space needed to respond more clearly, make practical choices, and move forward when circumstances are outside our control.
