“The path out of hell is through misery,� writes University of Washington psychologist and researcher Marsha Linehan, the founder of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. “By refusing to accept the misery that is part of climbing out of hell, you fall back into hell.� The path out of hell is through misery. Excuse me? What is that supposed to mean? It means that you have to start by “radically accepting� where you are right now. Radical acceptance means that you don’t fight what you’re feeling in this moment.”
