Ep. 108 Reparenting Ourselves After Childhood Trauma

Ep. 108 Reparenting Ourselves After Childhood Trauma

In this episode I share some new insights I've found about the value of "reparenting" ourselves while we are also parenting our own children or grandchildren. This is powerful work that can lead to deep healing. I'm drawing on the work of ShellyRobinson.com so go there to check it out. This episode includes:

  • How reparenting might be work that we continue throughout our lives
  • How children and grandchildren can act as mirrors for our own trauma and wounds
  • Five steps of reparenting (according to Shelly Robinson)
  • How being triggered shows us where we need to do some healing and reparenting work
  • Why self-forgiveness is essential for growth and healing
