A 12 Step Emotional Awareness Program

These 12 Steps are the essential principles of I.R.G.D.P. practice and are designed to help guide participants through the process of emotional maturity. They serve as a roadmap to healing and their journey for the rest of their lives.

STEP 1: I made a decision to pay attention to the warning signs my body and mind tell me.

STEP 2: I began to trust myself and understand I am worthy of attention and love.

STEP 3: I made a decision to help others and by doing so I help myself demonstrating remorse for harm done.

STEP 4: I came to the realization that my life was going in the wrong direction.

STEP 5: I became aware that I am my own worst enemy in sabotaging my path.

STEP 6: In this healing process, I learned to no longer carry resentment in my mind or heart.

STEP 7: I promise myself to no longer react impulsively to situations. This means to respond thinking before I react.

STEP 8: Realizing personal cognitive distortions, I learned I have to deal with my childhood traumas.

STEP 9: I will pay closer attention to my thought process understanding how it molds my life.

STEP 10: I became consciously aware to develop better coping skills in all my affairs.

STEP 11: I realized how vital and important a support system is.

STEP 12: With what I have learned I promise to pass this message of healing on to others starting with home.
