Reparenting Our Inner Child

Caring for Our Inner Child

No one has a “perfect” childhood but the need to reparent ourselves is especially critical when our needs were consistently unmet.

Childhood wounds can interrupt our lives into adulthood but thankfully we can still learn, heal and grow.
How we respond to this internalized child can make all the difference. ​
Reparenting ourselves in adulthood helps our Inner Child feel love, celebrated and supported.

When we ignore or criticize that younger part of ourselves, they can take over in unhelpful ways, until we listen.
