During times of stress or discomfort old and often maladaptive habits resurface.
Many of these habits originate in our childhoods.
This episode sheds light on “reparenting”- what it is and how it can help you meet needs that went unmet in childhood. The intention of reparenting is to move towards healing by creating new healthier patterns.
Are there circumstances from your childhood that felt out of your control and like they harmed you? Might they be influencing your behavior as an adult?
“Reparenting is when an adult meets their own needs that went unmet in their childhood. This is often affection, security, routines and structure, emotional regulation, and compassion." - www.verywellmind.com/reparenting-in-therapy-5226096
Many of us in medicine took on the responsible “carer” role in our childhoods.
