DBT Skills: Practice Radical Acceptance

Develop Radical Acceptance From Within...

This week, as we reviewed distress tolerance and handling difficult emotions in my eating disorder seminar, I was reminded of the concept of "radical acceptance."

What Does Radical Acceptance Look Like?

1. Learning to develop complete acceptance that comes from within.

2. Understand that painful emotions are a part of life—we all have them, they are normal and to be accepted.

3. Stop fighting (both emotionally and behaviorally). Learn to accept difficult emotions as a normal part of being human.

Your Questions Answered about this Holistic NYC Therapy Practice

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

You should consider therapy if you are struggling with some aspect of your life that has begun to feel unmanageable. You may feel anxious or depressed, unable to handle stress, have unresolved trauma(s), feel "stuck," or your relationships may be faltering. You may be enduring a loss or difficult transition. These are all important reasons to consider finding a therapist in New York to help you manage your life challenges. Therapy sessions are an opportunity to grow as a human and become a better partner in all your significant relationships.

Is Holistic Psychotherapy & Wellness Manhattan eligible for in-network & out-of-network insurance reimbursement? I work with clients who have Cigna, Aetna, BCBS, United Healthcare, and many other popular insurance carriers as out-of-network providers. Although I do not accept insurance directly, I can file claims with your insurance company on your behalf. I am also able to give you a monthly "superbill" for you to submit. Coverage for my services will vary depending on your insurance plan. I can look up your policy to determine the details. I do not accept plans obtained through Medicaid/Medicare as I am not a credentialed provider. If you have out-of-network insurance, most private or employer-based health insurance plans provide some level of reimbursement for out-of-network plans. You may be reimbursed 50%-100% depending on your plan. Sessions are self-pay using a credit card or FSA/HSA.

Can I still receive psychotherapy if I don’t live in New York State?

If we are doing psychotherapy, you must reside in New York State as this is where I am licensed to practice. I am also able to offer therapy to Montana residents. I am working towards licensure in other states. If you live within or outside of New York State, we can work together using transformation coaching, wellness consultations, coaching or therapeutic consultation, and that would be private pay.

What if I require greater flexibility and convenience for therapy sessions?

I understand this aspect of your busy NYC lifestyle. You may juggle work, travel, family, children, and a busy social schedule, so therapy should never feel like a burden. Your wellness is a priority to me. A one-size-fits-all therapy approach is rarely helpful for individuals or couples. You'd like therapy that is impactful and moves you toward your goals and the results you desire. My New York counseling services are exclusively offered online via a secure telehealth platform. If you are looking for a Manhattan therapist (or a Brooklyn therapist, a Queens therapist, a Long Island therapist, an Upstate therapist, or an online therapist anywhere in New York State), I can help. As long as you don’t mind seeing your online therapist from the comfort of your couch. I offer convenient online therapy and flexible self-scheduling sessions. Often, I can offer same-day changes or additions to your schedule.

How long will I need to be in therapy?

This is truly dependent on each individual and their presenting concerns, Some people need a few sessions (brief therapy) while others benefit from ongoing therapy. Sessions are typically once weekly, sometimes 2x weekly. I offer trauma healing intensive sessions for individuals who desire a highly focused trauma healing EMDR package.

How does online EMDR therapy work with a trained trauma therapist in NYC?

As a trained online trauma therapist in NYC, I find online EMDR treatments to be just as effective as in-person treatments. I guide you to use bilateral stimulation techniques like eye movements or an alternative like butterfly tapping to process experiences. For clients with a history of complex trauma, having a caring, nurturing therapist physically in the room with them makes a world of difference. Therefore, virtual EMDR may not be a good fit. If we decide online counseling and EMDR is a good fit, then you can receive the therapy virtually. Using a combination of effective evidence-based therapies such as EMDR and IFS, my EMDR clients can achieve change in a very short period compared to traditional talk therapy, often healing occurs within a few sessions.
