506. Your Inner Teenager Healing Guide

[@LadyFirebrand1111]

I resonate with the inner pissed off teenager that wants to call total bullshit on everything going on around us, but at the same time I want to love her and heal her and validate her feelings and tell her everything is going to be okay. ❤️

As a 45 year old with an almost 22 year old son, I realize 2 things. The first and most important validation is that I've been a bad ass Mom! I loved my son being a teenager, I loved his friends. They would all come to me to talk. Number 2- I never even thought about my inner teenager, now I can't stop crying. I didn't have "rage", my Dad got cancer. I spent my teenage years trying to be invisible but at the same time have everyone like me.

I just finished work on my inner child...thought I was done .lol I was in a meditation and it was mentioned her inner teanager was present and not happy. I look it up and I found this and another site about this. I was molested as a young child until I was 16. My mom told me to leave at 16. At this stage in my healing I can understand now where this weird rage, anger wanting to do crazy physical things,lol I'm 59, I can't do some of those things. Yeah this is where my mental stage was stopped, suspended. I m ready to embrace this!!

Also, I'm glad that it's a rebellious teenage spirit that's coming through now, it's exactly what these times need - and how affirming for our inner teenagers to be able to boldly step into their power!

I'm so looking forward to listening as I have a real trouble being professional at work cause my inner teen can run the show sometimes when I'm stressed.

I SO love her!

And I totally get the issues re ending friendships - especially where they are complete replicas of the other narcissists in our lives. Safety is paramount and unfortunately that's when our behaviours become more trauma/fear-driven. I didn't feel safe enough to be face to face, so I just let it die off naturally by not making the effort to meet up or even reply to msgs (took a minute, because it was like I was her dealer/supply and I just cut her off cold turkey). And yeah, it didn't feel the bravest way, but a hell of a lot of bravery and self respect was on show compared to where I was at even just a couple of years ago...

[@lauramcnamee4100]

Thank you all for this. My takeaway is that I have strong boundaries (honestly, it's actually isolation) but they're being used as a defense mechanism because I haven't yet healed what needs healed. Which sucks, because I really thought I had... Possibly just the cyclical nature of healing these things... Either way, better to be aware of it. Isolation feels safe, so I'm guessing I still don't feel safe in the world. Possibly just a hangover from my childhood and a belief that no longer serves...
