Once given adequate support, via the healing hand of loving-kindness, and enough gentler persuasion that today is vastly safer than yesterday, then the ten stages offers a guarantee of freedom, provided you finish the course.<br /><br />Our mind is the organ of socialising – the most important of all human organs. We need it to keep tabs on our ever expanding social networks, which can become formidably complicated, as befits a species whose sole defence and chances of survival are entirely dependent on its ability to socialise successfully. Testimony to the mind’s central importance comes in the proportion of the general population who seek medical assistance from their general practitioner. Mental problems recur with vastly greater frequency in general practice than for those arising from any other organ.<br /><br />Acknowledging fear or in its extreme form, terror, as the obvious mental pathogen is essential for a better understanding of addictions and dissociations from reality . When we become terrified there is a tendency to stop thinking rationally – panic takes over, and rationality leaves. And greatly to our initial astonishment, we as grown men and women still do view the world through perspectives driven deeply into us in our infancy. Happily these are software problems, not hardware, and are amenable, given adequate supplies of the healing hand of loving-kindness, to Emotional Repair, such that no scar need be left from earlier childhood problems. </span><br /> <div> <br /></div> <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <div class="zemanta-related" style="clear: both;
