In this article, m chte? I like to discuss a topic dear to my heart-F? Channel teen M? girl to woman. Why f? Cave I am so passionate about this topic? Well, I was one once many moons ago and I can not believe that I get out alive and am now a well-adjusted, mostly-healthy woman. One of the things, I say to teen girl clients a lot, “I hope there is not such a thing as reincarnation, because I want to return have not tte h? And teenagers all over again!”
I am sure you are sitting there thinking nodded grimly, “I h? re you, sister!” And I’m guessing also that your teen years far from simple and idyllic. I’m guessing even if you’re a mother, an aunt, a teacher, a consultant or simply ‘ol friend of a M? Teen girls, is dear to your heart w? You like to otherwise be able to give her something, anything, to make their journey along the rocky road to womanhood a little less difficult.
“But what I can possibly give them?” You ask.
My answer: More than you ever know.
Why do I say this?
For, as a therapist with teen M? girls and women f? r more than a decade had been working, I have a very valuable thing: teen girls need F? Channel from her? “oldest” (ie You and me! learned) to navigate their way through the ounces? hlig experiences and decisions they face in their adolescent years.
I think that we, as women, st? constantly denying what our gifts are and what we are capable, and as he f a role model? r needs a young woman, the help and guidance , is no exception. I have the first hand with my 18-J? UNACOMPANNIED MINOR sister (big e difference in age between us, as you learn function buttons, find out). When she was born, I never had the vessel? Hl, a love so deep and so big. Our bond was immediate. I remember h? Lt her little 8-pound K? Body in my arms in the hospital and saw her face and realize that this little person was a miracle.
Because my mother was on my own and I was still living at home, I was a kind of “second mother” to my little sister. We were a family with three M? Girls (and still are!) And I can not say enough? About the bond we all have with each other for three generations of women? Similar genes that big he spirit Mitgef? Hl , Sch? nheit and elegance (I say these things in order to encourage you to sing your own praises and those of the women in your family, f? hlt really well, try it!). However, we are all very different and unique and have learned how to honor our differences and celebrate them in ourselves and each other.
What’s the m? like? Well, I think there a lot with the fact that all three of us very curious, open-minded love, and thought that women do. And then Add? Gene that we all see the virtue of learning from each other. And w? During a big part of it includes learning from our “? Older women,” it also works in both directions. I know, f? R a fact that my sister one of my gr? States is a teacher, and that I am one of my mother … and vice versa. This is the Sch? Ne it, it fly? T different in many directions.
I believe that this independent Ph? as nat? Natural to M? girls and women, like breathing, but somewhere along the way, we lost him. However, we are en masse, the R? Ckeroberung this sch? NEN of learning in the detection of f ounces? Hlig rites-of-passage ceremonies? R M? Girls and women performed? Be performed and recorded in many spiritual beliefs.
As well, there are some fabulous B? ago is that this innate m? need to talk to both initiate and be initiated in, and femininity are too many to list here, but I urge you to her out? berPR? fen and find out who to talk to you and the Teen-M? girl in your life.
