At the Ten Stages we come to realise that we did not bond well or at all with our original caregivers

At the ten Stages we come to realise that we did not bond well or at all with our original caregivers when we were young children, experiencing a serious sense of abandonment. The message was, “Because you are worthless and unlovable, I will not care for you”.

This kind of abuse/neglect and early loss creates low self-esteem and exaggerated longing. Emotional needs are immense. At the stages we explore having fear about being able to connect emotionally, and we start by re-connecting with our child within.
