As part of my ACA recovery journey, I have been making daily conscious contact with my inner family members, one of which includes my inner teenager. Through this inner work and checking in with my inner teen, I have realized that my people-pleasing ways have put me in harm’s way. Since I was often not able to say no, I found myself in situations I didn’t want to be in with feelings I could not handle, so I turned to using substances as a coping mechanism to numb myself. Recovery has since allowed me to rewrite these scenarios, let go of old patterns, and heal. This week’s episode 291 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about reclaiming my inner teen’s voice- how to say no with inner strength!


Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:

  • The major breakthrough I had with my inner teenager who has been preventing me from asking for help and expressing my needs.
  • How reparenting my inner teenager has allowed me to revisit past experiences, honor my feelings, and respond with boundaries. 
  • The support of my other inner family members has been crucial in my reparenting process, providing the love, guidance, and reassurance my teenage self needed. 


Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.
