Lacking Recovery as an option, these feelings instead express themselves as symptoms in our life, of which addiction is just one subset.

For many of us, who have spent years in recovery groups we acknowledge that our inability to heal does not stop our unresolved feelings from needing to express themselves. Lacking real recovery as an option, these feelings instead express themselves as symptoms in our life, of which addiction is just one subset. The purpose of addiction is to divert and assuage painful, upwelling feelings into a seemingly comfortable alternative without allowing them to become conscious. In the short-run this feels much more placid than actually recovering our child within, but in the long-run it only prolongs underground psychic misery and adds new consequences to our already troubled lives.

The Ten Stages offers a healthy non shaming non blaming alternative. 



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
