Acknowledgment- we begin by acknowledging and working with our feelings.
Self-Inquiry- we then probe the feelings - it's important to find a way to explore your feelings that allows you both to be present with them and to stand a little aside from them.
Processing- become aware of what has been useful in the journey you've just taken, regardless of how it all turned out.
Creative Action- start something new with real enthusiasm for the doing of it, rather than out of the need to prove something.
Freedom - the stage when thinking about your loss (or the thing you desire) doesn't interfere with your normal feelings of well-being.
does the pwBPD go through these same 5 stages of detachment?
