Joining The Ten Stages Study starts the emotional healing process, if it goes well, risks much. At basic it risks is a person’s false self, which is all most of us have. It’s how we’ve been defining ourselves for most of our entire conscious lives – ever since we created it to fit into our childhood families. Healing attempts to help us rid ourselves of this false self and to help us manifest in our recovery our true self that lies underneath, dormant or partially dormant for years.
When this process succeeds, the consequences will be great, and often seemingly negative. Becoming honest is a betrayal of all our false relationships – be they with friends, parents, partners, family members, colleagues, or with society as a whole. It throws our old dynamics into turmoil, which can be especially painful if there is much interdependency – and history.Our belief system turns upside down and now we taste real freedom and real recovery for the first time.
