Re-parenting one's inner child involves nurturing and healing emotional wounds from childhood, helping individuals deal with their current emotional responses. Often, strong reactions signal unresolved trauma where the inner child feels neglected or hurt. Gabor Maté emphasizes that trauma arises when children are left alone with pain. Re-parenting allows these feelings to be validated, offering the inner child compassion and support needed to move forward. Engaging in small daily practices and seeking therapy can guide this transformative journey of healing.
We re-parent our inner child so that they are no longer left alone with the hurt.
Children are not traumatized because they are hurt, but rather because they are left alone with the hurt.
Instead of seeing reminders as danger, they might start to see them as growth opportunities.
Re-parenting your inner child is best done with the help of a therapist who can guide you through the process.
