Rebelle Recovered is the empowerment model with a holistic approach to overcoming dissociation

Rebelle Recovered is an evolving twelve week taught course of study the ten stages and the child within which is based on an empowerment model giving us Power and Authority back,  a holistic approach to overcoming addiction that views us in our completeness– mind, body and spirit. 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? 

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.

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

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empowerment encourages us to develop our own internal belief system based on our creating gradual redundancy of our old outdated coping strategies,twisted perceptions and experiences from childhood.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.

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.

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. Rebelle Recovered leads to self-autonomy
