The trance of unworthiness is a pervasive belief that something is fundamentally wrong with us. This trance keeps us trapped in self-judgment, shame, and fear, limiting our ability to live authentically and connect deeply with others. Radical acceptance involves recognizing the trance and its impact on our lives, challenging our negative self-beliefs with compassionate inquiry, and embracing all aspects of ourselves, including our imperfections.
