As we progress the ten stages path we can start to acknowledge our replicated history of betrayal

As we progress the ten stages path we can start to acknowledge our replicated history of betrayal, we are ready to take responsibility understand. The most powerful understanding we can make is to change our inappropriate dissociated behaviour. This speaks louder than any apology, promise, or vow. All too often our apologies and promises only disguise our resistance to changing dissociations, our desire to get others’ approval and have them meet our thwarted childhood needs. We have long been doing this, and now we must stop it. We say goodbye to our addictions, our negative attitudes, our self- destructive dynamics, our manipulations, and our exploitative patterns. Our amended life becomes the proof that we are truly sorry for the deflected lives we have been living about our old sick patterns of manipulation and are serious about beginning a new reality. Our amended life is a gift to ourselves and to the people and world around us. Yet not all may be comfortable with our transition. People, friends are used to us behaving in the old way. We may lose some friends and intimates and even family members. With this in mind, we act gently and with compassion. But we act. We may feel like lone individuals on our journey, but as we begin to radiate the truth of positive, constructive living, the whole world feels the shift and counter balances our crazy making lives.

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. www.thetenstages.com
