What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? Andrea Ashley's latest episode, 'Healing Your Inner Teenager', takes you on an emotional journey into the heart of unresolved adolescent pain. Through candid conversations, Andrea and her guests explore the profound impact of growing up in dysfunctional families and how these experiences shape our adult selves.
You'll find yourself reflecting on the inner teen archetypes—like the rebel, the fixer, the vanished, and the starving for love—and how they manifest in your life today. Each story shared is a testament to the resilience and complexity of healing from trauma. The episode doesn't shy away from tough topics like codependency, complex trauma, and toxic shame. Instead, it embraces them with raw honesty and compassion.
Andrea introduces listeners to a unique seven-week healing journey that goes beyond traditional therapy by incorporating breathwork and somatic practices. It's a chance to connect with your inner self in a way that's as comfortable as lounging on your couch with friends. Whether you're struggling with feelings of alienation or seeking a deeper understanding of your emotional patterns, this episode offers insights that are both relatable and transformative.
It's not just about recognising the past but learning to respect and nurture the parts of yourself that have been trying to protect you all along. So, which inner teen archetype resonates with you? And what does your inner teen need from you today? Dive into this powerful discussion and uncover the healing potential within.
