As we navigate the intricate journey of emotional healing, we encounter seven distinct stages, each a chapter in our personal narrative. These stages unfold like the layers of an intricate tapestry: awareness, honesty, expression, regulation, reflection, transformation, and growth. While a concise model condenses the journey into five key stages - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance - the truth is, our emotional odyssey is a complex, multifaceted experience that stretches beyond these fundamental emotions. Each stage is a vital piece of the intricate puzzle that is the human heart's capacity to mend and flourish.
Any ideas on what could be changed would be much appreciated!!
