Inner Child and Reparenting

I’ve been spending a lot of time lately re-mothering my inner child. I know to a lot of people that may sound strange, but let me explain it so it makes sense. 


Those of us who were under-mothered probably experience(d) inner child wounding. This could be caused by a mother who was mentally ill, emotionally unavailable or immature, or suffering from their own undermothering. 


Basically, to access your inner child you tune into the little or younger version of yourself and ask what s/he needs. Your inner child may need validation, kind words, or to be seen/heard. Often, your inner child can be triggered, and the little version of you comes out needing validation when experiencing stress or anxiety in life. 


Reparenting is part of the process of healing your inner child wounds. Practicing the “good mother” voice to your inner child is a way of achieving this, by validating your inner child and filling the gaps of the mother wound with positive, caring, compassionate self-love. 


A path to healing is possible. Putting in the work of healing your inner child is part of reclaiming yourself and living a more fulfilled, beautiful, and happy life.
