Learning to Love Your Inner Teenager
We often hear about the Inner Child, but the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model also teaches us that we have an Inner Teenager, carrying all the feelings, memories, and beliefs of that often-painful time in our lives. In this IFS meditation, Dan helps you get to know this teenage part, reframing any bad behaviour and understanding how tough it might have been for them, and you, at the time. This will help you foster a greater sense of kindness and compassion for this misunderstood part – which will help you develop self-compassion, even for the aspects of yourself you would rather ignore or dismiss.
