Still feeling anxious, needy, or stuck in painful relationship cycles? Reparenting may be the key.

In this transformational episode of The Thais Gibson Podcast, Thais walks you through the core concept of reparenting—what it is, how it heals anxious attachment, and why it leads to faster, more lasting change. If you've ever found yourself clinging too tightly, afraid of rejection, or losing yourself in relationships, this episode will help you uncover why—and what to do about it.

 

What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✔️ What reparenting actually is (and isn’t) ✔️ How trauma includes both what did happen and what didn’t ✔️ Why anxious attachment forms from unmet childhood needs ✔️ How unmet needs lead to dependency, low self-worth, and staying in the wrong relationships ✔️ A powerful 3-part reparenting exercise to start healing right now ✔️ What healthy self-soothing, self-validation, and internal reassurance look like

By the end, you’ll learn how to self-source your needs, stop seeking breadcrumbs from the outside world, and finally feel safe, seen, and empowered within.
