Our recovery is unfortunately a painful thing for us to wake up to in The Ten Stages. To make a decision to connect to our child within. It breaks the rules. It angers the norm. It enrages others. It puts a target on our back. And it hurts. It hurts like hell. It hurts to rip down the psychic prison wall and feel the old traumas, the old longings, the old memories. It hurts to grieve, to feel the rage, to confront the perpetrators, to break the denial. It hurts to shed the mask of comfort and walk into our despair. It hurts to reject the fantasy of one day being loved by those who never really loved us and instead emotional imprisoned us in a behavioural maze. It hurts to leave the system behind. It hurts to stand on our own.

Yet this process of waking up, and this alone, is the pathway back to our recovery — to a long, healthy life within ourselves. 

The Ten Stages is a studied recovery course. It is a source of reconnection a method of unlearning and a reintroduction to our child within which leads us back to our one true intuitive voice.We start to learn and come out of our protective dysfunctional shell and reclaim our lives.
