Helping Girls Feel Seen and Heard
Being seen and being heard is such a HUGE part of feeling balanced, safe and secure as a human.
When people are going through major transitions in life there are all sorts of shaky feelings and experiences that come up to promote the growth into the next phase; puberty of course is a prime example of this.
The funny thing is so many people why I do this work? I get comments like:
“Well we all went through it just fine.” Like why make all the fuss about it?
“No one talked to me about anything it just happens.”
“It seems weird and strange (and maybe even wrong) to talk about it”
To me it seems weird and strange that such a MAJOR pivotal time period in someone’s life where there is SO MANY big changes going on (not just in the body but also the mind, the emotions, the hormones, the responsibility level, the personality, the social impact and so much more) isn’t talked about.
Which leads me back to Being Seen and Being Heard is CRUCIAL for all of us and especially for kids navigating puberty.
They may say it is weird or that they, “don’t want to talk about it” but I assure you they do. You have to get creative and be able to droop into deeper presence and allow them to be seen and heard, without fixing or judging; not always the easiest task!
I hope that you enjoy this short episode and that it inspires you.
