The Re-Emergent Human Being
WE OFTEN SPEAK ABOUT THE "RE-EMERGENT HUMAN BEING" IN PEER-COUNSELING AND "EMERGENT" IS WRITTEN ABOUT IN STEP TWO OF CODA (CO-DEPENDENCE ANONYMOUS STEPS). I PREFER USING THE WORD "RE-EMERGENT" INSTEAD OF IN THE TWELVE STEP PROGRAMS THE WORD "RECOVERY". I LIKE THE WORD "RE-EMERGENT" BECAUSE TO ME, IT DENOTES SELF-EMPOWERMENT! "I RE-EMERGE FROM MY DISTRESS, FROM MY STRESS. TO ME, IT MEANS THE HUMAN BEING MOVES THROUGH THE STRESS, AND DISTRESS.THE IMPRINT OF BIRTH TRAUMA, IMPRINTED INTO THE GENETIC CODE OF EMOTIONAL EMBODIMENT REQUIRES EMPOWERING WORDS, AFFIRMATIONS, AND DIRECTIONS FOR ME AND US TO TAKE CHARGE OF OURSELVES IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE WIDE WORLD.
WE CAN DO THIS THROUGH A VARIETY OF METHODS AND WHEN THEY ARE PRACTICED WITH FOCUS, EFFECTIVELY, AND EFFICIENTLY THE STRESS, DISTRESS, REMNANTS OF IT FALLS AWAY AS WE POWER OURSELVES THROUGH THE DISSONANT FEELINGS REFLECTIVE OF THE EMOTIONS THAT PERPETUATE THE BEHAVIORS. THE DISTRESS LOSES ITS GRIP AND BEGINS TO FALL AWAY.WE BEGIN, DEVELOP A TRANSFORMATION PROCESS WHOSE END RESULT IS A FRESH REALTY AND OUR MASTERING OUR NEW ENVIRONMENT.
FOR EXAMPLE, I HAVE A CHALLENGE WITH SELF-JUDGEMENT (RESULTING FROM BIRTH TRAUMA). THE CAUSES OF SELF-JUDGEMENT AND THE RESULTING FEAR THAT ENSUES WITHIN GETS IN MY WAY FROM MY PROSPERING IN THE WIDE WORLD. THE FIRST STEP I TAKE IS TO STAY ALERT TO THE REASON FOR SELF-JUDGEMENT. IT COULD BE "I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH". BY STAYING ALERT, I CAN CONTRADICT THE THOUGHT, CHANGE IT, CHANGE THE FEELINGS THROUGH FOR EXAMPLE POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS. PERHAPS, I NEED STRONGER METHODS? PRIMAL, PEER COUNSELING, MEDITATION ARE JUST SUCH METHODS. THE DIFFERENT METHODS THAT RESONATE WITH ME POWER ME, EMPOWER ME THROUGH ANY KNEE JERK NEGATIVE FEELINGS AND THEIR RESULTING EMOTIONS THAT I HAVE CREATED. I EMPOWER MYSELF, POWER MY WAY THROUGH THE STRESS, DISTRESS, AND EXPERIENCE MORE RE-EMERGENCE OF A MORE COMPLETE SELF AS A RESULT. IT TAKES ALERTNESS AND PRACTICE.JV
