Everyone talks about healing the inner child. But what about the teenager who's still hurting inside you? This guided meditation addresses the completely overlooked developmental stage in healing work: adolescence. The wounds from ages 12-18 that are still shaping your adult life.

 Guided by Abi Beri, Integrative Holistic Therapist and Somatic Therapist based in Ireland, you'll explore:

THE SEVEN CORE ADOLESCENT WOUNDS:

 • Body shame and the puberty wound—when you learned your body was "wrong," too much, too little, not acceptable

• Social rejection and belonging wound—bullying, exclusion, loneliness, not fitting in anywhere

• Sexual shame and early experiences—desire shamed, orientation confused, consent violated, pleasure made wrong

• Identity confusion and the "who am I?" wound—when becoming yourself was interrupted, shamed, or shut down

• Performance pressure and worth wounds—value tied to grades, achievement, being exceptional or you're worthless

• Family conflict during separation phase—guilt for growing up, or being pushed out too soon with no support

• Mental health struggles dismissed—depression, anxiety, self-harm treated as "just hormones" or "being dramatic"

This meditation helps you understand:

• Why we skip teenage wounds in healing work (and why that's a problem)

• How adolescent trauma lives in your body differently than childhood wounds

• Where shame, rejection, and identity wounds are stored somatically

• Why your teenager's pain was dismissed—and how to finally take it seriously

• How to meet your adolescent self with compassion instead of cringe

• What your teenager needed but didn't get—and how to offer it now

Grounded in somatic therapy, developmental psychology, and trauma-informed practice.
