Ep. 24: Meeting Your Inner Teenager
The last few episodes have been about your inner child. Now, we're moving into a different energy: your inner teenager. Your inner teen isn’t just a wounded part of you, they’re a protective part of you. They made an unconscious agreement with your inner child to make sure they never felt those painful feelings again.
While your inner child may have hidden, cried, or tried to be extra good, your inner teenager picked up more powerful tools. Tools like independence, rebellion, performance, secrecy, substances, friends, sex, and appearance. They are a fierce, creative, and protective part of you. They carried you this far, and now you get to integrate their energy without letting them run the show.
This episode isn't about shaming that part. If you're not catching on, we don't really use shame as a useful tool in being in relationship with ourselves here. It's about recognition. Because when you truly see your inner teenager, you can stop being run by their defenses and start relating to them with compassion, structure, and boundaries.
