Webinar Description:

In the presentation, I discuss the role of acceptance in our lives. Acceptance, as an emotion, means the acceptance of other people and acceptance by others. Both types of acceptance involve our sense of identity. They produce mutually affirming interaction, trust, harmony, and intimacy. At the level of the individual, acceptance is defined as an attitude towards one’s life, which involves openness to the environment, to others, and to oneself. Acceptance involves also a willingness to experience all psychological events such as thoughts, feelings, and sensations without changing, avoiding or controlling them. I introduce the complex emotions of resourcefulness, curiosity, friendliness, love, and ambivalence and emphasize the important role acceptance plays in their development. These emotional experiences increase our flexibility and capacity to deal with complex and challenging problems and make our lives rich and meaningful.
