Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 130: REPARENTING YOUR INNER CHILD: Compassion for Yourself and Those Who Raised You: Reparenting Your Inner Child

Reparenting your inner child is one of the most powerful tools for healing we have in our toolbox.

What do I mean by “reparenting?”

What do I mean by “inner child?”

Some of you may be familiar with these ideas, and some of you maybe not so much.

In simple terms, your inner child is the part of your psyche that is vulnerable, needy, sensitive, and also joyful, exuberant, and honest. Most of us shove aside our childlike tendencies in adolescence to become “mature adults,” only to later realize that connecting to our inner child helps us experience the fullness of life to a greater degree.

Growing up forces us to put on the armor of adulthood. Growing wise means we start dismantling that armor, piece by piece.

In order to connect with the gifts of living out of your inner child, you first have to do the hard work of reparenting your inner child. Let’s get into what that hard work entails in today’s podcast.

EPISODE 130 TOPICS:

Reparenting is a way of looking at yourself and the people who raised you with compassion, or at least acceptance.
Even with wonderful, available, and well-intentioned parents, each person still has a wounded inner child that needs to be tended to and needs to be reparented.
You will continue to attract the same experiences over and over again and fail in your romantic life until you address your inner child.
