Most successful recoveries for us who suffers from dissociations attached to an addiction cycle exhibit some of the following components:
Acknowledging the Problem of Dissociation - As with many things in life, acknowledging that there is a problem is often the first stage in our recovery - and sometimes the most difficult.
Longevity of the behaviour - Because of the rapid, mood swings that we sometimes experience, it can be difficult to tell whether a change in our behaviour is evidence of a substantial improvement or just part of the normal up and down of our feelings.
Working with The Child Within - The second necessary ingredient of real recovery in dissociation is self-work studying our realised truth, mapping our behaviour.
Yielding Control of Dissociation - One of the necessary ingredients for recovery perhaps one of the most difficult, is to relinquish control of the dissociated self-relationship and to gain back control over our own lives.
