I think you misunderstood my wording (if I'm wrong I apologize!!) I meant that radical acceptance is considered a core skill for DBT. There's a huge working list of different skills in DBT (Dialectical behavior therapy) and radical acceptance is one of the big ones. Essentially it's accepting whats happening around/to you, and letting it be. Like I'm a single mom, I have a toddler... say he's throwing a tantrum, radical acceptance would be me thinking "ok he's throwing a tantrum, there's not much I can do to change that" then just pretty much letting him throw the tantrum, because yelling at him won't stop it. Hope that makes sense!!

Great review! What does the identification of core values have to do with "radical acceptance?" which sounds pretty cool by the way!!
