When we make a decision to join the stages, we decide to live a life based on our truth no matter the consequences.

We emerge into the open with our new creation. But most importantly, we emerge as a new variation of humanity, aligned with truth. This is how we define Recovery. With our collapse into more and more dissociation looming, the time for morphing into a new way of recovery is becoming a necessity.<br /><br />Yet we may succumb to fear. When the ideas we hold are too revolutionary, too unsettling for the family and the norm and even our conventional sides to accept, we fear expressing our truth. We know the consequences of familial and social ostracism are painful to bear. We fear giving birth to the stages that are developing within us because we will be banished. We may let the stages die within us, such that this new life becomes stillborn, causing no disturbance to the status quo. In this way no conscience is challenged and no mind is forced to question—and we hide within the walls of our conformity. Our sword of truth remains hidden in a sheathe of fear. And slowly we begin to die.<br /><br />But for some of us there comes a time when we are strong enough, when critical mass is reached. We rally our forces and choose to honour the life and the creativity that teem within us. Do or die, we must be honest. We begin to live openly with our new stages creation exposed—refusing to bow down in order to protect the betrayals of the family and culture. We do not worry about the future or about consequences. We take the action and we let go of the results.</span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <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.
