Many of us have become familiar with the concept of the Inner Child through emotional healing and spiritual awakening. We may recognize the younger parts of ourselves who carry abandonment wounds, unmet needs, fears, and longings from childhood.

This is our Inner Teenager.

We don't become whole by abandoning the parts of us that formed through separation. We become increasingly whole by bringing them into loving relationship with who we are now and with the Divine essence that has always been available within us.
