Reparenting: Giving yourself what you needed then
Reparenting means offering yourself the safety, comfort and permission you didn't get as a child. It can start with one sentence.
Reparenting is the practice of becoming the caring grown-up your inner child needed: offering safety, validation, permission to feel, and love.
A simple version: put a hand on your heart and say, "I see you. I'm here. You're safe now. I've got you." Then ask inwardly, "What do you need right now?" and give it if you can: rest, a snack, a walk, a kind word, a boundary.
