Recovery calls forth ugly things from within our sub-conscious.

Recovery calls forth ugly things from within our sub-conscious. We buried our childhood   memories and the feelings surrounding them, because they were disturbing to our adult dissociations. When we reopen them their decades of stink and rot rise to the surface, and so often our behavior, our attitudes, and even our dreams reject this. So too do our family and fellows, if they are invested in stuckness of depleted old coping strategies. They may even dance like “demons” in their resentment of our newfound honesty, inducing doubt in us about our new path of recovery and tempting us to return to the old familiar ways.

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
