In fact, we are operating out of our ADULT SELF without any inkling of who we really are. This Adult Self is a self that is a people pleaser which is always trying to seek validation externally. The manufactured Self is fake and portrays itself as perfect, however, in reality it holds the ultimate flaw of dissociation. The manufactured self can never be satisfied and is forever relegated to the dissociation of addiction: sex, gambling, alcohol, relationships, love, shopping, eating, electronics.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.
