Step 2 – Removing the Sword

Step number 2 – removing the sword

If you were going to go through surgery you would have to make a plan.  You need help, support, a place in which to remove it in the safest way possible, and a place to recover.  Going through recovery is the same thing.  You need a support system.  Make a plan, gather support, and then go right into the fear. Find your therapist, support group, friends, and supportive family members to help you through the darkest hours. Select the support team that works best for you.

Some things that may come up while you are removing the sword are:

Rage

Pain

Fear

Tears

Isolation

Self-hatred

Removing the sword hurts.  In order to get it fully out you have to go through the pain of purging it.  In order to heal it, you have to feel it.  Remember that once you face the fear and remove the sword – you will have it!
