"If I'm powerless, I guess there's nothing I can do about it, so I might as well drink myself to death," is what the mind concludes. The powerlessness concept actually increases binging behaviour and relapse.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large; line-height: 19.2px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large; line-height: 19.2px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large; line-height: 19.2px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: medium; line-height: 19.2px;">It is completely disempowering, which is insane, because what we need more than anything is to feel empowered. We need to feel capable of changing our life. Not only that, it's a complete lie. When we understand that the true root of alcoholism lies in biochemistry and dissociation there are ways to correct it, they are given all the tools needed to overcome their addiction and the shame so often associated with being an alcoholic.

Or we may step back and realize that we have been ignoring what are clearly injustices around us. Our very lack of concern can wake us up to the need for justice.<br /><br />There is also a "shadow" side to this spiritual practice. Sometimes in our fervour for justice we decide that we can ignore the rights and dignity of those who oppose us.

Nothing is going well.<br /><br /> <br /><br />We question everything and maybe even say something like "Why is this happening to me?"<br /><br /> <br /><br />What we've come to find, is that moments like this are powerful opportunities to grow. Dissociation Storms are wake up calls. They are not ushering in the end, but rather clearing space for what's trying to be born in your life your child within is calling from deep inside you.<br /><br /> <br /><br />But - we tend to interrupt the process. We hang on to how it was and fear how it could be. And perhaps we slip into assuming the worst, instead of preparing for a miracle of our real recovery.The re-emergence of the child within.<br /><br /> <br /><br />You see, when you go through a dissociation crisis, a hard time, a moment of pain - there is always, and we do mean always, a breakthrough, a deep understanding on the other side.<br /><br /> <br /><br />And just past the breakthrough, the new awareness, the inevitable "aha moment" you've been searching for - comes the ignition of our child within.<br /><br /> <br /><br />We live in a world that specialises in evolving ignition.<br /><br /> <br /><br />We need not worry. We need not assume the worst.<br /><br /> <br /><br />But rather, make our aim to connect and contact our child within.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Instead of trying to make The world make sense, we release the need to know why things happen as they do and step into the trust that we are being guided in every moment by our beautiful child within.<br /><br /> <br /><br />And we choose to understand that the dissociation that we are going through now is preparing us for what our child within needs.<br /><br /> <br /><br />You are not being punished; you are being prepared.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Prepared for more KINDFULNESS.<br /><br />Prepared for more impact.<br /><br />Prepared to inspire change in others.<br /><br />Prepared for more awareness.<br /><br />Prepared for your recovery.<br /><br /> <br /><br />When we step out into the sweet unknown, we can release the thoughts of pending doom, or life falling apart.<br /><br /> <br /><br />We can choose to believe that when life falls apart, it's not over, but rather the energy is moving, changing, shifting to reflect the changes in our child withins communication.<br /><br /> <br /><br />We need not fear the changes but embrace them with a feeling of surrender that our Child within knows what's best for us.<br /><br /> <br /><br />And in doing so, we can begin to find peace within transition, we can bring meaning within loss and we can find recovery within our addiction.<br /><br /> <br /><br />You are being prepared.<br /><br /> <br /><br />What no longer serves you is being removed from your life, and new life and a new power is coming to you.<br /><br /> <br /><br />At first it won't make sense.

Not some BS cover-up story and not some kind of twisted truth intended to make the other person wrong.<br /><br />Just the simple truth about how my child within felt.<br /><br /><br />When we tell them this, they shouted out “BUT IF I DO THAT, THEY MIGHT FIND OUT!”<br /><br /><br />And we are stunned.<br /><br />They will find out I feel like a mess. They will find out I feel like a fraud. They will find out I’m imperfect and not worthy. Or so my mind says…<br /><br /><br /><br />We can’t believe the honesty and pure sincerity of our child within and we stuff down our responses and comment about sharing their truth with their child we have to dissociate.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />And I couldn’t help but dissociate because I've had the same fear.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />And then I wondered if it is a Universal fear? <br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />Like – do you ever worry about being “found out”?<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />Not that you committed some crime. But that you aren’t enough, that you are not worthy in some way, and perhaps that you are a mess.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />After hearing my child within share this powerful admission, I had a hunch that since my friend had it and I have it – that you might have it to.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />So here’s what I have to say.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />We're a mess sometimes.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />I'm a mess sometimes.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />And yet – you are also wise, so am I. You are also beautiful. You are also smart, strong, intelligent and worthy of Recovery.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />And yes – there are parts of you that you’re ashamed of. But here’s what’s so cool – when you let those parts out, things can change.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />That shame can turn into beauty and self-love.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />Someone can only love you in the direct proportion that you are willing to show yourself. Not your masks. Not who you think that you should be. But the real, honest – you.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />You want someone who loves your mess.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />Who loves your crazy.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />Who accepts you as you are, because they know that they are just as messy, crazy and feeling unworthy of love as you are.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />If we can all just admit this – and get on with it – we’d experience so much more love, joy, intimacy, and passion.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />When you are loved wholly for who you are with no changes, there is nothing that can be more healing. And when you can start to see yourself in this way –the whole game changes.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />It might not be permanent, but if you can have moments – then we are making a big stage step towards major progress.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> if you tell on yourself you’re off the hook and your child within is revealed..<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />If you just admit it, you can let it go, and you have no more secrets. We are, after all, only as sick as our secrets.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />When you let go and admit it, accept that you have moments of being a mess and you share that feeling of feeling unworthy at times with the rest of us, then you can step into a larger, freer life.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />Do you ever feel like you are going to be “found out”?</span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The Ten Stages is a studied recovery course.

When you remember who you really are, you surround yourself with kindful people. <br /><br /> <br /><br />You bask in the fellowship of the children within and no longer accept or tolerate abuse and hate.<br /><br /> <br /><br />You pull back from judging others and instead keep your eyes on KINDFULNESS and purifying your own desires and intentions.<br /><br /> <br /><br />You line up your thoughts with your recovery and then the actions and the fruits of recovery naturally follow. <br /><br /> <br /><br />You let go of the need to control and let The Child Within fill in the gaps, because The Child is very intelligent and knows what you need even more than you do.<br /><br /> <br /><br />When you remember who you really are, you Love yourself and your Child enough to take care of your body with healthy foods, exercise, yoga and breath. <br /><br /> <br /><br />You Love your mind enough to not let it run the show, and instead make time for meditation to calm it down so your Love and Spirit shine through. When you remember who you are, you embrace challenge and catastrophe with acceptance rather than disdain.<br /><br /> <br /><br />You know that with the Light comes the Dark and that both are needed in the dance of Life.<br /><br /> <br /><br />When you remember who you are, you are attractive to those who believe what you believe. <br /><br /> <br /><br />You don’t see rejection as bad, but rather as a sorting device keeping unhealthy matches away from you.<br /><br /> <br /><br />You naturally and effortlessly find recovery because you already embody It.When you remember who you are, life ceases to become difficult and transforms into an adventure you can’t wait to take.<br /><br /> <br /><br />When you remember who you are, you live your life following your child so that when you get to the end, you say: “What a ride!” instead of wondering, “What if I had…?”<br /><br /> <br /><br />Remember who you really are today .<br /><br /> <br /><br />Get out there - take action, and make it real!</span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The Ten Stages is a studied recovery course.

It makes no sense. It will ask you to do things that are outside of your comfort zone, that go against the status quo and things that might freak out your family. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Your intuition will cause you to go against the grain of our ancestral voices. To feel left out and to go on an epic spiritual quest to find your purpose. <br /><br /> <br /><br />And when you arrive at the destiny of your purpose. Your intuition will get the credit for showing you the way, one foggy, scary step at a time. <br /><br /> <br /><br />You see, your intuition is literally your child within talking to you.<br /><br /> <br /><br />It's your Consciousness trying to get your attention, to guide you. <br /><br /> <br /><br />And, this Intelligence is wiser than you are and is connected to all time and space. It knows past, present and future. <br /><br /> <br /><br />So, when you are guided by your child within, you are being guided by a force that knows where you're headed. It can see 100 steps ahead. It sees how all the seeming "random" moments of your life are actually conspiring for your greatest good, even the moments where you feel like you're getting kicked in the teeth by life. <br /><br /> <br /><br />It's all a conspiracy for your benefit. <br /><br /> <br /><br />But, if you let irrational fear, which we call parental patterns, stop you from following your intuition - you get stuck, and your life shrivels up. <br /><br /> <br /><br />And then you get resigned that this is how it will always be. <br /><br /> <br /><br />But that intuitive voice never stops speaking. No amount of food, drugs or sex can numb it. <br /><br /> <br /><br />It remains, calling you into the foggy uncertainty of faith in the child hidden within. <br /><br /> <br /><br />And the day will come where taking the leap out into the unknown will be your only next stage. <br /><br /> <br /><br />You do not need to be stubborn. You can relax and tap into your intuitive voice. You can find it. You can follow it.Using the Ten Stages</span><div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px;"> <br /></div> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The Ten Stages is a studied recovery course.

Many of us are not very good at it at all. Our medial pre frontal cortex, the ‘front middle bit’ of the brain which helps us reflect and zone in on our internal experience, has in many cases failed to develop sufficiently as a result of neglect. I like to see this part of my brain as a muscle that is puny and atrophied, but which I am now regularly working out at the ‘gym’. As I do, I'm beginning to see progress, and I'm less liable to want to respond, “But I don’t have a body” or “I don’t know how I'm feeling.” Use it or lose it, the slogan goes, and I'm learning, slowly and sometimes still too reluctantly, to use it.<br /><br /><br />But there is a huge fear that many of us have when we first start to tune in to ourselves – that we have within us such a huge reservoir of need that attending to it will burst the dam, and we will drown. It is a very tangible fear, full of a sense of overwhelm and risk. What if, instead of turning the tap on slowly in the safety of the confines of therapy, what if, instead of just having a little cry and then being able to pull ourselves together again, what if … what if … what if the whole thing comes gushing through? All those years of hurt and heartache and trauma and terror? All the hugeness of all the loss and all the abandonment and all the abuse that was so overwhelming that we could only dissociate in order to cope with it, and which resulted in us being the way we are now?</span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The Ten Stages is a studied recovery course.

To suggest that DAD or addiction is a mental illness is to suggest that something has gone wrong in the brain, that some form of medicine may be needed to treat it, that this ‘illness’ may recur, and that it may even be contagious. Likening mental distress to physical illness is inadequate because it pathologises our normal, human suffering and places it squarely in the medical model, at the whim of doctors and ‘experts’ who can label our experiences as abnormal. <br />I came to realise—eventually—that nothing had gone wrong with my brain: my brain did good. It helped me survive the unendurable by switching off, by limiting my awareness, by refusing to join up as a whole what is too much for a child’s brain to bear.I came to realise that my brain isn't sick. It’s what happened to me that was sick—and arguably the people who did what they did to me. My brain just reacted in the best way it could to keep me alive, and to keep me sane. DAD is an adaptation to an abusive or traumatic environment. But once that environment changed—once, as an adult, I became safe—I needed to set about the process of re-adapting my brain to a different environment, one where it didn't need to be so focused on threat and trauma and pain. That is the process of recovery, to mould my brain to a new, non-traumatic environment, not to mend it from dysfunction or cure it from illness. My brain had to learn to focus anew on exploration and relationships and joy. Dissociation was logical when I was a child in an unsafe environment. It only became illogical when I persisted in it as an adult in safe surroundings.</span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The Ten Stages is a studied recovery course.

The journey out of the basement of childhood into adulthood is often avoided at all costs. Dissociation becomes the norm either as substance abuse or risky behaviour, over eating. We are drawn into the stream of life heading into the rapids , bouncing of the boulders of life constantly in crisis manufacturing drama creating our own particular soap series, finding an impossibility in relationships as we start to slip out of the rapids the force of the stream increases as we crash once more over the waterfall and hopefully survive our journey many of us do not, but for those who do we scale the waterfall once more exhausted we throw ourselves once more our feeble efforts only speed our return to the savage rapids.<br /><br />Is their an alternative well yes their is we can join the stream a little further upstream its a bit more difficult and slower but when we do the current is weaker and we swim up to the deep pools of reasoning and tranquility previously we used substances to gain access to the pools, but now we make the decision to use mindfulness to permanently access the relaxation into these deep warm pools of our unrestrained mind and we start to heal our intuitive reasoning awakens and we begin to experience the joy of true happiness.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The Ten Stages is a studied recovery course.

Becoming aware of your triggers helps our brain to shift into our green zone of peace  and activate rational thinking about these events and how our mind/body responded to it.<br /><br />To avoid future child within-hijacking,we use stages mindfulness to train our brain ahead of time. Mindfulness is the act of bringing our attention to the present moment in a way that allows us to act as a compassionate observers about what is happening on a moment-to-moment basis. We can use our breathing or simply pretend that we are watching the events going on around us in play-by-play mode.<br /><br />One of the easiest ways to incorporate mindfulness is to focus on nature. Simply find an object in nature (a leaf, a stone, the blue sky, white puffy clouds) and bring all your attention to bear upon that object. Take note of its color, its shape, its texture. Does it have a sound, smell or taste? If you are able, feel the object and pay attention to its texture – is it bumpy, smooth, jagged or rounded? If you are inside and cannot go outside, simply gaze out a window and take on an artist’s perspective to really look at a part of the landscape.<br /><br />Stages Mindfulness is something that can be practiced every day. Just like a muscle, our brain must be exercised through mindfulness before the stressor (trigger) comes. Try to build mindfulness into 3 or 4 sections of your day. For example, in the morning as you are showering – allow yourself to really smell the shampoo, feel the water, notice the warmth and the steam all around you. At lunch time, slow down your eating and really taste your food, look at the colours, shapes and textures of the foods on your plate. Smell. See. Engage all your senses in your lunch-time experience. Do this at dinner and again before bedtime – pausing to really become present with your experiences.<br /><br />If you build mindfulness into our every-day activities, we will habituate our brain to move through child within-hijacking more quickly and effectively allowing you to lead a freer quality life.</span><div> <span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The Ten Stages is a studied recovery course.

When an event or a remembered event happens that triggers an intense emotional response our child within becomes activated and starts the whole fight or flight response in our mind/body system. our body and mind gets caught up in various neuro-chemical processes that make it extremely difficult to think through the situation with a calm and logical approach. It can take anywhere from three to four hours for your mind/body system to begin to calm down after encounters with stress filled situations often triggering an unwelcome dissociated response.<br /><br /> To have to wait a four hours or more depending on the chosen dissociation to reclaim your rational adult brain is not very convenient and is not terribly effective. </span><br /> The Ten Stages is a studied recovery course.

At its core our solution, is based on loving Kindfulness not fear; internal control not external authoritarianism; affirmation not deflation; and trust in the ability for us to find our own healing path when given education, support, hope and choices.<br style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Rebelle Recovery helps us to develop ego strength which is seen as having a healthy ability to be introspective and to ask ourselves the questions: Who am I? What do I value, believe and want? Meditation clears the path to understanding Kindfulness first to ourselves then to others<br style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />In Rebelle Recovery, addiction is seen as a complex web of social factors based on matrix of dissociations, physical, pre-disposition and personal history which has lead us into the trap of dissociations. This empowerment encourages us to develop our own internal belief system based on our creating gradual redundancy of our old outdated coping strategies,twisted perceptions and experiences from childhood. It is fluid and open to change as we evolve. It believes that a major task of healing from addiction is to validate the underlying, positive survival goals for safety, connection, pleasure, love and power that we should have had modelled from our childhood. Exploring our active dissociations to find non-addictive and positive ways to meet those needs. It is crucial to create a healthy physical balance to prevent the return of cravings.<br style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Rebelle Recovery addresses issues of cultural diversity and internalised oppression stemming from sexism, racism, classism, and homophobia. In our taught model, the concept of “codependency” is understood as a form of internalised oppression, rather than an addiction to security, in a cultural context as well as an individual problem.  improving self-esteem; helping us believe in our own intuitive voice; giving us permission to be creative; expressing and validating our personal beliefs and feelings; and helping to be more courageous are seen as being the positive effects of the Rebelle Recovery Course.<br style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Rebelle Recovery encourages us to use this or any other model as a springboard to find our own intuitive voice. And while it is crucial to acknowledge the power of addiction, this model helps us affirm the power we do have to take charge of our lives and overcome our dissociations which control our numerous addictions. Developing one’s passion, finding purpose, bonding with others and becoming involved in social change are seen as antidotes to dissociation which lie as a root cause of addiction. This approach does not posture itself as the one way or the right way, nor does it make assumptions about the length of time it takes or the path that must be followed.We who have experienced the power of Rebelle Recovery need no convincing finally at last we are at peace and fully understand our journey and can at last discard fear, shame and guilt of our past.
