I assumed that St.1 would tackle my trauma directly too. But my experience has shown differently–for that trauma specifically.
DR has so many beneficial goals that I’ve experienced that I’ll never say it’s a bad choice. I’ve had so many aha moments while on it this last 2 cycles. They overshadow my last 5-6 month run (St.1 and St.2) by far. DR resets your whole life vision as to what’s actually good and what’s actually bad for you. Seeing as I didn’t have much instruction or guidance growing up without a father, it’s something I’ll always remember fondly. DR truly shines here. It is that constant companion in your head when using it.
And I’m not at a good spot to give absolutes, but I’ve considered returning to St.2 once I’ve cleared out my major traumas with Regeneration so I can reinstall some healthy beliefs and boundaries via healing the wounds. Stage 3 and 4 are sweet extras I’ve never experienced either. It’s something I’m considering.
But ambition may override that intention 
. Ascension has already been waking me up to seeing real possibilities in my life. I’m seeing how life has been incredibly small, meaning I’ve pushed away anything which might trigger trauma memories and associations. Resetting that standard is a God-given gift to me, and I accept it. Ascension and Regeneration work very well together in this.
One of Regeneration’s objectives:
- Obtain a sense of complete emotional freedom from societal constraints and ideas pushed upon you by others.
That’s a major one for me. Where I’ll stop letting other’s expectations for me be my “constant companion”.
