The problem with all addiction/dissociation however, is that we cannot tell you where the pain is coming from

One of the profound problems with all addiction/dissociation however, is that we cannot tell you where the pain is coming from – and this is a particularly severe problem with the emotional pain of dissociation. The simple reason for this is that where the source of the addiction appears obvious, then we will already have taken all available steps to limit or expunge it. Where the origin of the pain is obscure – as in dissociation – then the we can see no way through and therefore cannot help ourselves. What we need most, is a clear, believable, and reliable pathway to recovery to stability which is given in the ten stages and the child hidden within.We grasp the roots of our addiction with both hands and awaken our understanding.
