The Reality Slap: Finding Peace and Fulfillment When Life Hurts

Synopsis

The "reality slap" takes many different forms. Sometimes, it's more like a punch: the death of a loved one, a serious illness, a divorce, the loss of a job, a freak accident, or a shocking betrayal. Sometimes it's a little gentler. Envy, loneliness, resentment, failure, disappointment, and rejection can sting just as much. But whatever form your reality slap takes, one thing's for sure--it hurts! And most of us don't deal with the pain very well. The reality slap offers a four-part path for healing from crises based on acceptance and commitment therapy.
