Acceptance is

the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation -- some fact of my life -- unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment. (p.449 AA)
Acceptance is one of the fundamental psychological responses of a healthy person. Living in the now, rather than the past requires we move towards acceptance. This script is useful as an exercise for those clients who continually revisit the past and have yet to move forward....
2.) Acceptance as a tool in ACT Therapy

As you relax I am going to guide you through a process of understanding and experiencing acceptance. Imagine you are in a large conference room, all of the chairs surround the large table and you are sitting in the executive chair at the end, and all of the other chairs remain unoccupied. You are the only one in the room, and a large box sits in the middle of the table. Acceptance of course, does not mean you like something. Nor does it mean you wish it would happen again or happen to others. Acceptance simply means a willingness to see that which has occupied your thoughts, feeling or concerns and to acknowledge the role these things have played in your life. The box on the table of course, hold all of those things that you have not wanted to look at or see. Perhaps because of pain or fear or even for any other reason. But in this office you are safe, and you have come here to move forward, and so this is your opportunity, in the safety of this office, to begin unpacking these things and placing them on the table. One by one unpack those items form the box, looking at them but without judgment or attachment, place them on the table. See yourself doing this, taking each item out and simply placing the items from this box on the table. When the box is unpacked, look at all of those items. Rather than sitting again, simply stand at the end of the table, even taking as much time as needed in silence, to simply see them out on the table. Of course you are safe, and you are the only person in the room observing the table. When you have looked long enough at all of the items on the table, imagine you approach the doorway, leaving those items exposed on the table. Turn out the light. Walk through the door, closing it behind you. Those things, feelings and experiences are neither hidden nor neglected, but as you walk out the door and into the light of this new chapter of life, recognize they were there, and that by living fully in the present, you have developed a sense of acceptance simply seeing life as it is, and practicing the new art of living in the moment.
