On joining the ten stages we realise we are at the crossroads of our old and new life and we understand for the first time that the only way to release our dissociated history is to start to grieve. We approach this profound sorrow slowly and deliberately. We would be overwhelmed if we leapt precipitously into shedding our lifetime of dissociated behaviours. Slowly we delve into dismantling the shadow self that has for so long shielded us from harsh realities of our constructed dysfunctional life. The loss of the illusion of idealised familial love is disturbing, yet easy to underestimate. It is wrenching to surrender our long held belief that their is something inherently wrong with ourselves, but we cannot move forward until we do. So we slow down and prepare ourselves for our examination. We nurture our healthy lifestyle. We optimise our allies in the stages. We work to respect the natural timing of our healing process. We become masters of patience. We become entirely ready to grieve our past and to recognise and let of go of our shadow self.
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. #childwithin#10stages
