Invite the compassionate Presence of Spirit into your heart to help you learn what you are doing or thinking that may be causing your pain.
Consciously move out of the intent to protect/control and into the intent to learn about what you are doing or thinking that may be causing your pain so that you can move into loving yourself and others.
When you connect with Spirit and move into the intent to learn, you are in a loving Adult state, as opposed to the ego wounded self state you are in when you want to protect/control.
In Step Two, you welcome and embrace all your feelings with a compassionate intent to learn.
As you open to the Love and Truth from Spirit that is always available to you, you are gradually freed from the fears and beliefs that limit you. As you allow Love and Truth to replace the learned concepts of your past, your wounded self heals, and you are free to fully manifest the gifts of your soul.
