When we are dissociative, we have the ability to block out an awareness of our trauma. We may know that our family had problems, or that our family was dysfunctional, but we may believe we were never abused.

However, blocking out conscious awareness of our trauma does not mean that we have no effects of that trauma. Using denial and dissociative skills does not mean that the abuse did not happen. Denial means that we simply are refusing to acknowledge or accept the fact that they were traumatised. We are pretending we were not hurt, when we were actually hurt very badly.

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.
