Our different parts traverse the various stages at their own speeds, seemingly independently – but ultimately connected to our core of perfection our child within by our universal thread of truth.<br /><br />The most primitive stage on stages’s healing journey is the contest. This is the stage of grandiosity, acceptance by the norm, dissociated happiness, and approval by the subconscious parents. The parts of us that are winning the contest stop our journey before it has even begun. Here we deny our deepest traumas so intensely that we fool even ourselves into believing they never happened – and that we are already healed. It is for this reason that dissociation mimics enlightenment. Here we idealise us as parents, which allows us full unconscious liberty to replicate the worst of our past in our present. Here we do not look beneath our surface, and if fate goes our way, we will never have to. We remain happily distant from the misery lurking in our guts.</span>

It is just accepted as a matter of fact that we have become slightly flawed and weak and would attempt to escape living life whenever possible. We see ourselves as different ‘slightly defective’.<br /><br />Social Media are still </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">favourite ways of feeding our dissociation addiction. As an alcoholic has bottles hidden all over the house, We have Facebook,twitter, Instagram etc. What will happen if there is an empty moment, and we did not have a phone or tablet to whisk our mind away from actually living in the present? What would happen if we actually had to ‘be’ instead of constantly dissociating???</span></span><br /> <div> <div> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />The only way we have learned to deal with our difficulties is to dissociate. The idea of their being any other option is foreign to us. We even trained our children to deal with their difficult emotions by dissociating. When our children are very young and having trouble managing their emotions, We would tell them, “Go into the next room and do not come out until you have changed.” We have learned to become very obedient; we leave the room in a tantrum state, but soon will emerge, smiling, pleasant, and happy. Any vestige of a problem is gone without a trace. <br /><br />Having dissociative parents, you learn dissociation from them – both by being taught it directly, and by example. Parents who dissociate are unable to help a child go through their emotions. They are unable to help the child learn that an emotion is nothing to fear, but something that is very valuable and precious, helpful in living life. We sincerely believe that switching off an emotion is the best way to deal with it. We had never heard of the concept of self-soothing, it was pleasant to do some so-called ‘self-soothing ‘ activities, and I felt mildly better when I did them. But the concepts of staying with an emotion, sitting with it until it changes, and using a self soothing technique instead of switching, are all foreign to us. </span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">We are too </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">terrified of emotions to ever do this. We are afraid of fear itself, and will go to immense means not to experience the emotion of fear, or any other </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">emotion, without ever realising that we are doing this. We have control of ourself. We feel we can handle anything.</span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /><br />We become careful with organised groups of people, and with individuals who might not be safe. We learn what to look for, how to tell whether or not something was safe, how to tell whether or not we are accessed. Eventually, we realise we are safe, our children are safe and well on their way to healing, we all have our safeguards in place.<br /><br />We have no reason not to live in the present, We are relatively free from harm from external sources, so there was no longer a need to dissociate, so we are DONE with dissociation, right? we lived happily ever after, end of story?<br /><br /><br />Obviously WRONG!<br /><br /><br />Long ago, decades ago, We have made the decision that life was not worth living – it was something to ‘get through’ as smoothly and mindlessly as possible until we could die. The rule had been to imperceptibly stay as non-present as possible, while going about the business of doing what we had to do to ‘survive’, to pass as human. That was a rule we learned deep, deep down.<br /><br /><br />Einstein said: “I must be willing to give up what I am in order to become what I will be.” That can be exceedingly difficult. When we embark on this journey of recovery we have not realised that healing required CHANGE on our part. We wanted the constant pain and anguish to stop, but we didn’t want my actual self to be different. We did not want to have to uproot the very foundations of our beliefs and actions and metaphorically relearn how to walk again. We wanted to be free of the continual anguish we experienced, the continual need to cover up our lapses due to dissociation; the continual sporadic loss of time, the hop scotching nature of our abilities – sometimes being able to do certain things; other times have no concept of, or even any desire to have certain abilities.<br /><br />We wanted relief of all my symptoms, but we did not really want to “heal”.<br /><br />When we are finally ready to start dealing with our addiction, we gradually realise that we then have to deal with what caused our addiction in the first place; what we had been unwilling/unable to face originally, what drove us to drink,drug and into inumerable dysfunctions. Only now our problems were compounded by all the problems that addiction brings.<br /><br /> “The worst would pass in a few days. I’d feel good and I’d think, “I’ve got it down pat.” But then I’d look at my life and feel bad. That’s the real pain when you’re an addict. USING HURTS, BUT REALITY HURTS WORSE.”<br /><br />when we are not dissociating, we look at our life and realise this is so very different than what we have envisioned. We do not have a birth family, We do not have in-laws, We do not have blood relatives, We do not have a life partner. We give up an immense amount of ourself to insure that we would have all these things, and when we stopped dissociating, We realise that not only did we have none of those people in our life, We are also missing major portions of ourself. It has taken us along time to realise two things:<br /><br />1. How can you lose what you never had? I never did have those things, only a pretence.<br /><br />And 2. We now have things that are far more important and valuable than those ever were in reality.<br /><br />But. We are still addicted. We know we would not have survived if we had not had the skill of dissociation. It served us quite well. It saved our lives. Now we don’t want to rely on it; we don’t want to do it automatically we have identified three types of dissociation we struggle with:<br /><br />1. The first way is the simple practice of spacing out or shutting off. we use this for two different purposes:<br /><br />1. Avoidance when we are unwilling or unable to face things<br /><br />2. A learned way to be able to switch. There are many times when we cannot access the parts that have the information and skills we need in a situation. Throughout time we have learned that a way to handle this was just to shut off completely inside, and sooner or later the information we needed would gradually seep to the surface or some other place in my mind where it would become accessible to me.<br /><br />2. A second way we dissociate is to switch to other parts inside.It has taken us time to be able to tell when we am not ourself. we blend through most alter personalities, and it used to be easy to believe we are just being ‘us’. We’ve learned to be alert to various factors. One is what age we feel. Other ways we have found to know when I am not Child Within present are to feel what size the body seems, relative to other people or objects; Sometimes we look at a dog, and it feels as if the dog is shoulder height to me. Ooops. Not Child within present! Other ways are to recognise what the emotional tone is and what the values are, what sort of things are important to us. How do I want to spend my time? A numbing activity such as social media games? Oops. That is not a Child within choice for us. So who is out and why?<br /><br /><br />3. The third way we dissociate is one that may be difficult to grasp if we don’t use it. If we do, We will definitely know what we are talking about. We will tell us that some of us whom we have discussed this with have found this concept highly triggering.<br /><br /> We found ourself talking to our guides about a ‘construct’. They asked us what we mean by that term; at the time we had not a clue.<br /><br />We have since learned that we create a construct when we are functioning through something that is not an alter. We are always looking for a perfect ‘formula’ that we could leave in place, and personally go away. Life was something to be endured, and got</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"> through as gracefully and safely as possible, while the </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">real ‘us’ was tucked away somewhere inaccessible. When we are preparing to be in a situation which we may perceive as threatening, we automatically figure out</span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">what qualities would be appropriate and useful for that event; find parts inside that have those qualities; put them together and create an ‘artificial’ persona to deal with the situation.<br /><br /><br />An example: One time a friend and I planned to go away for a weekend, share a motel room, and do numerous activities together. I was terrified. I was unused to being social; I was unused to spending long stretches of time with another person without being able to escape and dissociate. I was afraid she<br />would find me (fill in the blank here) unacceptable, stupid, weird, any number of things. My anxiety levels rose and rose. I found myself figuring out how ‘normal’ people would act in a situation like this, what kind of things would interest them, what kind of things they would talk about, what kind of<br />values they would have. I figured out what the situation demanded so that I could pass as human. I found myself focusing entirely on my friend and what she might want to do. It was far too terrifying to have any ‘me’ present at all. I was still around, somewhere, but definitely not in my body. That would have been far too terrifying. From some remote area, I worked the body, instructing it what to say and do. A construct is not ‘me’ or an alter; it is<br />lacking much depth of character, although there were always certain parameters set for what actions the character could do.<br /><br />Fortunately, by then I was far enough along in healing that I realised what I was doing and started laughing at myself. This was a friend who knew about my background, who was safe, who was very accepting of who I was. I ended up just ‘winging’ it; yes, there were some anxious moments, but I spent a lot of<br />time just being ‘me’ and reacting spontaneously to whatever arose, and had a great time.</span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />We do want to say that we do not believe all dissociation is from addiction. If a person is still around perpetrators, dissociation may still be necessary. But once dissociation is learned as the major means to handle difficult emotions, a person will continue to use it automatically from then on, and it greatly lessens the quality of life.<br /><br />Having decided we wanted to do away with this addiction and the pain it causes us, We find specific strategies helpful, when we are not dissociating our decision to stop dissociating: We would like to share these with you.<br /><br />We would like to start with a quote we found: “No one healing intervention will enable a person to manifest the full scope of his or her wholeness. To maximally heal it is important not to limit ourselves to a single modality but to incorporate several healing practices that encompass body, mind, and<br />spirit.”<br /><br />We who have experienced ten stage recovery strongly believe it takes more than talk therapy to break through when there is severe trauma in the background. It takes physical actions, whatever form they may take. When we are faced with severe trauma, the fight or flight response gets activated. This shuts down the cortex; the part of our brain that can reason, plan and make sense of things. Pieces of the event, snapshot pictures, get recorded, but the meaning does not. They are memories that do not make sense. After the trauma, these unresolved emotions are frozen in the body. Think of what the physiological<br />responses are to any emotion and what it means for these responses to be stopped before completion and remain in the body. There is an ‘act hunger’ remaining – the body wants to move through and resolve these physiological processes. The body remembers even when the mind forgets. The body acts as<br />our unconscious mind. At the ten Stages we implement a full range of both play and safe drama therapies.</span></div> </div>

A fundamental basis is flexibility and an openness which leads to continually ask:What are our dissociations,  What are the self defeating behaviours that we employ that destroy us? How do they work in our life? and Why are they their, How can we identify them, Why did we need to create them and can we help to identify them and as a consequence work better in our life without this added baggage? </span><br /> <div> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"></span></div> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Rebelle Recovered starts from a position of trust and consent which leads us to our own personal truth this encourages us to be continually open to the new information in the ten stages and The Child Within and not to become trapped into dogmatic teachings or create new dissociations to escape from the relentless questions of our newly found reality. 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 /><br />Rebelle Recovered 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 /><br />In Rebelle Recovered, 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 /><br />Rebelle Recovered 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 Recovered Course.<br /><br />Rebelle Recovered 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 Recovered need no convincing finally at last we are at peace and fully understand our journey and can at last discard fear, shame and guilt.

This is a pre-program stage of grandiosity, acceptance by the norm, dissociated happiness, and approval being sort of the guides. Or the stroking of our egos, If during this contest stage parts of the participants believe that they are winning the contest they will stop participating on the journey of recovery before it has even begun. Here they will deny their deepest traumas so intensely that they will fool even themselves into believing they never happened – and that they are already healed and dont need the program. It is for this reason that they have to learn about their dissociative behaviour that mimics recovery. It is here that we idealise the parents, which allows them full unconscious liberty to replicate the worst of their past in our present. Here we do not look beneath our surface, and if fate goes our way, we will never have to. We remain happily distant from the misery lurking inside us.</span>

Child Within practices are intended to foster increased awareness of the roots of the addictive process, destructive habitual patterns, and “automatic” reactions that seem to control many of our lives from childhood. </span><br /> <div> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">The mindfulness practices in Rebelle Recovered are designed to help us pause, observe present experience, and bring gentle awareness to the range of choices before each of us in every moment. We learn to respond in ways that serves us, rather than react in ways that are detrimental to our health and happiness. Ultimately, we are working towards freedom from deeply ingrained and often catastrophic escapist dissociations ingrained in us since childhood .<br /><br /> Rebelle Recovered is useful as an aftercare program integrating mindfulness practices and principles with the deep gentle realisations which lead into relapse prevention. In our experience, Rebelle Recovered is best suited to individuals who have undergone initial treatment and wish to maintain their treatment gains and develop a lifestyle that supports their well-being and recovery.<br /><br /><br />We develop awareness of dissociations which have become personal triggers and habitual reactions, and learn a ten stage solution to create a pause in these seemingly automatic processes.<br /><br /><br />We change our relationship to recognising discomfort, learning to recognise challenging emotional and physical experiences and responding to them in new skilful ways.<br /><br /><br />This includes fostering a nonjudgmental, compassionate approach toward ourselves and our childhood experiences.<br /><br /><br />We build a new rational lifestyle that supports both mindfulness practice and recovery. </span><br /> <div> <span class="text-class-4" style="font-family: "georgia";"><br /></span></div> </div> <div class="zemanta-related" style="clear: both;

Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.<br /> <br />Don’t Take Anything Personally: Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.<br /> <br />Don’t Make Assumptions: Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.<br /> <br />Always Do Your Best: Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.<br />By Don Miguel Ruiz from his best-selling book The Four Agreements.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt;"><em></em></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0b175f; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #0b175f; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px;"> <br /></div> </div> <div class="zemanta-related" style="clear: both; margin-top: 20px; overflow: hidden;"> <h4 class="zemanta-related-title"> Related articles</h4> <ul class="zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image" style="margin: 0; overflow: hidden; padding: 0;"> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li" style="background: none; display: block; float: left; font-size: 11px; list-style: none; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px; padding: 0; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; width: 84px;"><a href="http://intuitivevoices.blogspot.com/2015/05/intuition-is-not-result-of-diet-rituals.html" style="border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; display: block; padding: 2px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><img src="//i.zemanta.com/noimg_12_80_80.jpg" style="border: 0; display: block; margin: 0; max-width: 100%; padding: 0; width: 80px;" /></a><a href="http://intuitivevoices.blogspot.com/2015/05/intuition-is-not-result-of-diet-rituals.html" style="background-image: none; display: block; height: 83px; line-height: 12pt; overflow: hidden; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Intuition is not the result of diet, rituals, or wind chimes.

We determine when to fly, how far and for how long. We decide the destination, the altitude and the engine speed.<br /><br />We are the one in charge. Can you imagine a pilot sitting in the pilot seat asking the crew –<br /><br />“Where to today?” or “What do you think we should do?”<br /><br />This is our life — so take charge of it.<br /><br />But beware, we can burn the fuel too quickly by wasting it with worry, fear, doubt and distraction.<br /><br />There is no one way to get to where we want to go. There are no shoulds. But we do need forward movement, We have to leave the ground to get to our destination.<br /><br />Make a decision, set a goal, determine our desires. Then move forward as our intuition reveals the next step.<br /><br />Take time each day to sit in meditation to receive guidance, then set a flight plan, but be ready to adjust for the wind currents and weather of the emotions. Un-chock the wheels and rev the engines by getting excited, happy, and enthusiastic.<br /><br />Once we have received the insights, and charted the course, we are ready to go. We may have to refuel our body with nutrition, meditation and exercise. We will need to refuel our mind with meditation, affirmations and contemplation.<br /><br />Remember to enjoy the journey – we have the controls – we are in the pilot’s seat. There are fair skies ahead. This is a good time to fly.<br /><br />Don’t worry about our past. Don’t worry about our future. Just be in the now – be aware today and relish all life offers us. Receive, feel, explore and offer joy and love each mile.<br /><br />Know that as we take off, we are supported by unseen forces. Be open to synchronicity and clues along the way.<br /><br />For once we determine what we desire, once we realise we are the one responsible for our life and once we decide to follow our intuition — we can soar!<br /><br />Roger and out.</span><br /> <div class="zemanta-related" style="clear: both;

That's just the way it is.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace; font-size: large;">So, if we are scared to make a choice: to quit a group, to start new recovery, to leave abusive relationships – and we know we must make this choice or live an unfulfilled recovery life – then THAT is the choice that will lead us to freedom.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It’s not that we aren’t intuitive – it’s that we are scared of our intuition.</span><br /> <br style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;" /> <span style="font-family: "courier new", courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We spend most of our time recovery in ten stages studying with others to get them to make the choice that scares them the most.

Now the research is telling us the "why" and more importantly "what" can be done to assist women in recovery.<br />Women start using for different reasons, get addicted differently, progress faster, recovery differently and relapse for different issues. Due to shame and stigma, women may be more likely to drink/take pills when alone and hide it from others. Some women have their home as their bar and may have three martini play dates with their friends and their children.<br />Those with stressful careers may use to keep up the image that they can raise three kids, have a high power job and still keep up! With the stimulant drugs some women start using to lose weight. While many women are high functioning and may be able to keep up the appearance of being fine they are unraveling on the inside.<br />Physiologically women metabolize alcohol and drugs differently then men. Physically one drink for a woman has twice the impact physiologically on a woman that it does on a man. That's not just about getting drunk, that's impact to the organs, to the brain. It's serious stuff!<br />Mixing types of drugs makes it even more damaging. When mixing chemicals one and one is not necessarily two. Women also tend to have more access to prescribers of medications which can make it even more dangerous.<br />Yes, there is physical damage but it may pale in comparison to the emotional  damage done by addiction. When a woman is addicted it can impact the entire family system - since women are generally the central organising factors in their network (caregiver to aging parent, parent to children, caregiver of older partner.).<br />Women are complicated! In addition a female's distinctive physiology, mental health issues, hormonal differences, spiritual concerns and as well as life circumstances may affect their experience in addiction and recovery. Treatment and recovery are most successful when these individualised needs are taken into account.<br />The good news is that recovery is natural for women. Addiction is the unnatural state. The female brain is actually wired for connection! Many women find that the support of Rebelle Recovery a 10 Stage course and other support groups are exactly what they need to live a life free of chemicals. Recovery is the most critical part of an addicts journey and many find that in recovery they have a life beyond their wildest dreams.</span></blockquote>
