MEETING: The Twelve STAGES

The Ten Stages


Stage 1: We admit that the traumas we have buried in our unconscious rule our adult lives, making us powerless to embody our truth, and driving us to act out in ways destructive to ourselves, to others, and to our environment.

Stage 2: We come to believe that the child within at our core is more powerful than the lies imposed upon us, and that this truth can lead us into our recovery.

Stage 3: We make a decision to align with the child within, despite the pressure to submit to the distortions of our family, society, and the historical voices we carry within.

Stage 4: We make a searching and fearless re-assessment of our life in the light of our re-discovered traumatic history: personal, familial and ancestral.

Stage 5: We admit to ourselves and to a stages guide who we have come to trust the full details of our traumas. Identifying with help the triggers to our dissociations and unfulfilled needs.

Stage 6: We become entirely ready to grieve this past and to let go of our false self.

Stage 7: We align with our child within and do the deep and transforming work of grieving our losses.

Stage 8: We study the ways we have become dissociated and unknowingly hurt ourselves, and others through replication of our traumas, and we become willing to make amends to ourself, them and all we can remember.

Stage 9: We change our inappropriate dissociated behaviour.

Stage 10: We continue to monitor our attitudes and behaviour, and when we now feel the pain in our recovery we promptly admit it, trace its traumatic origin, and take steps to not repeat it.

Stage 11: We seek through self-reflection an ever deepening connection to our child within, desiring only to be guided to our child's inner intuitive voice.

Stage 12: Having awakened to our child within, we dedicate our lives to its full manifestation and to nurturing the healing paths of others who are on the same recovery path.
