I cried 🥺😢 during this guided meditation 🧘🏾 because I had a really hard childhood and teenage life it wasn’t easy for me at all. This guided meditation 🧘🏾 helped me to heal parts of my teenage years that robbed me of being a carefree teenager

[@daeguuboi]

Started tearing up the moment my adult self started reassuring my teen self..its never too late to heal ♡

[@rachelllanos4587]

Tears rolling down my face. I am included and acepted . Thank you I feel safe

[@peacebi22]

"I am included and belong I am loved and connected" my teen self needed to hear that :crying:

[@GenuineMusicFan]

I did not know my teenage years impacted me this much, thank you so much for this meditation. As soon as I heard the you're "safe and secure" part, it's like a stone got lifted off my chest. You have no idea how much I needed this. Thanks again for your amazing work Nicole!

Beautiful! Ages 10-20 determine so much of our adult lives. Always very valuable to go back there and show ourselves some love + understand ourselves as a teenager.

[@kid-ava]

this is so true :((, my wounds started at 10, I'm 18 now and this is NOT easy

[@naomiscarlett235]

I don’t usually cry with healing hypnosis or meditations but I was sobbing at the end of this. So beautiful knowing my teen self is inside of me and I can love and protect her now❤ thank you

[@teresapimenta4315]

I was really enjoying this meditation until the part that I heard "... and even though YOU FEEL ASHAMED, you are not alone... I understand why you did the things you did and I FORGIVE YOU". Why assuming there's shame involved (even if that could be the case)? A way to go around this could be just to simply add "you MAY feel..." Also, I think there would only be a need for an adult version of ourselves to forgive the teen in us if there would be shame or guilt involved. I would have loved to have this meditation be more reassuring, and with language that would allow space for a more "generalised" experience of teenagehood, and not be so shame or guilt focused. For example, my teen self needed to hear "I am proud of you", "You are not alone" but did not need to have someone tell them "I forgive you" because that made the teen version feel as if she had done something wrong.

Just make it personalized for you. Her words isnt set in gold. She probably did it for herself and what she mostly needed. Just re write it for you ❤️

[@ThePsyberGiantess]

Extremely power, extremely effective. I thank myself for having the courage and healing to do this, and I thank you @theholisticpsychologist for sharing

[@ryannesumbry4130]

Thank you!! 🙏 I’ve been waiting on this guided meditation 🧘🏾

[@TheHolisticPsychologist]

So welcome!

[@MyHouseMyLove]

Thank you for providing all these resources ♥ I have done a lot of inner child mediations/work over the last few years, but not for my teen self until now. Although I wasn't raised by my parents during this time, the first images were happy ones of nature, going to the rivers, and my friends. But it moved me to tears to tell myself I was proud of myself, in my adulthood I have a hard time accepting myself as is. And filled me with love to repeat the affirmations, it's crazy I didn't get to hear that from my aunt who raised me or anyone back then despite trying so fucking hard to be and do "good" to get any loving reassurance. THANK YOU!

[@milliegathuku]

Whew! The tears. I had no idea I was holding so much in. I'll come back to this again and again. There seems to be a lot of pain there that needs to be released. Thank you for this Dr. Nicole

[@bbcerise]

Thank you so much for that meditation Nicole! I've worked a lot on my inner child for a long time, and we always hear about "healing the inner child", and this is great and so necessary of course but at some point, I realized : what about that lonely, forgotten and unseen teenage girl?! She needs healing too! So I'm working on that now. I talk to her a lot! Again, thank you for that video, and for everything you do. You're a light in this world!

[@meaghanswitzer888]

Thank you Dr Nicole for your humanity in sharing this with us and your helpful guidance . Very much appreciate you and your work as well as your chosen family who support you.❤

[@margaritazhilova7215]

Thank you for this meditation! It stirs unknown leyers inside of me. I cry during the meditation, but feel really light and hopeful afterwards. ❤

[@cecilec7512]

I’ve done it twice since back for a weekend at my parents’ house - where I grew up - & before visiting family. I get triggered so much when back here. It helps. Thanks so much.

[@judithtorres1944]

I had previously done the inner child meditation along with my partner at the time. While it was very healing and meaningful for me, he felt very triggered at suggestions that the adult figures had their own trauma, and other implications made throughout the meditation. He has a strong background in hypnosis and said that could be quite damaging, as "not everyone had a traumatic childhood". At the time, I took this as him just feeling uncomfortable, but I couldn't help but have similar feelings in this meditation. I think I've already forgiven my teen self for things done in my past, and understood the place I was at, that the assumption of shame and guilt was somewhat tainting the forgiveness and the release that had already occurred. I do understand your content is oriented to healing of trauma, shame, and guilt, but maybe a more generalized or inclusive form of speech might've helped us be more receptive and accepting throughout the meditations, rather than assumption of the experiences we are revisiting.

I am 32 years old. My teenage days in high school were horrible. Tuitions I attended after school serve me nothing today. Friends who are stuck with because they are studying the same subjects as you. Getting entangled in close relatives drama. I was the very retarded teenage among others. Always outdated. With strict parents house rules, religious rules while being with no money ouff ouff😢 my teen days started during the 15 years karmic cycle which ended Dec 23😢 my bad💔

Nah, I am not safe & secure. Isn't that gaslighting myself? Denial? Appreciate the effort, doc ☮️

[@ashkes.266]

If you know you're in an unsafe situation, that's good information to have. It's smart to trust your intuition. I hope you are able to make some progress towards a safer, more secure situation, whatever the context may be.

[@kindcrone]

​@@ashkes.266In response to your well intended comment, not following why you think that feeling unsafe is "good" info to have, VS ... ?

[@ashkes.266]

@@kindcrone There's a difference between feeling unsafe when you actually are safe, which is what this video is for, and actually being unsafe and knowing it, in which case yeah, this would be gaslighting yourself. Many people with PTSD or cPTSD or even anxiety feel a lack of safety long after the unsafe situation is over, which is so detrimental to our physical and mental health, relationships and life choices. If we're safe now, it doesn't serve us to carry this immense weight around, and we need to give our brains the option to feel in a way that's more congruent with reality. On the other hand, people in unsafe situations (for example abusive relationships or bullying) do often gaslight themselves as they've been taught to. It's genuinely difficult to trust your feelings and intuition in those situations, but it's necessary to understand and accept the problem if one's ever going to get out of it. As you said you "are not safe and secure," my first assumption is that you're not lying. In that case you're right, lying to yourself isn't helpful. All it'll do is lull you into prolonging the danger and training your mind to ignore its own alarms. In this sense understanding whatever your situation is is good information for you to have. It's often difficult for people to understand and accept their situation fully, which prevents them from changing it. That's what I mean when I say it's good information if you understand that you're not safe. That can be the first step towards getting help and making changes. Whatever the case is, from one stranger on the internet to another, good luck and trust yourself!
