Ending cycles with love: a look from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

This last week I experienced many cycle endings up close and what I most
noticed was the great presence of love. We had a loving farewell to a teammate and I accompanied dear friends saying goodbye to loved ones: father, former therapist and sister. Being so close to this pain made me remember my goodbyes and
the immensity of love and pain that were present there. Closing hurts. It hurts because there was meaning. I’ve always carried this phrase with me: “The size of pain is the size of love.” So I bring here the contribution that the practice of
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can bring us in these moments.
