There's a lot of talk about the inner child these days but rarely do you hear mention of their older, and often angstier, counterpart. In last week's episode we talked about our inner child and the impact their unmet needs can have on our adult lives. This week we'll be diving into our inner teenager, why they are often angry, and how by acknowledging and honoring them we can begin to heal and bridge the needs gap that often exists between childhood and adult. Whether you are parenting a teenager or trying to connect with and heal the one within, this episode can help you get there.
