The obstacle that commonly gets in the way of acceptance is the desire to be in control. This can be seen in individuals who struggle with relinquishing control of a situation or who have difficulty accepting outcomes that are not aligned with their expectations or plans. The other options, while potentially contributing factors, do not directly address the issue of acceptance and may not always be present as obstacles. For example, lack of information processing capabilities may make it more difficult to understand or process information, but it may not necessarily hinder one's ability to accept something. Congruence in personal relationships and the presence of double bind situations may also impact acceptance, but they are not the primary obstacle.
