HOW DO I REPARENT MYSELF?

  • Ask yourself what needs weren’t met in your childhood and what skills you didn’t learn.
  • Challenge negative self-talk and unhealthy beliefs and create a healthy, positive, and loving view of yourself.
  • Learn skills that your parents couldn’t teach you. Ex: establishing healthy boundaries, emotional regulation, & self-soothing, communication skills, frustration tolerance, routines and structure, accountability, joy, & playfulness.
  • Give yourself the love and compassion that you missed as a child.
  • Establish meaningful and healthy relationships and a support network.
  • Be gentle with yourself and take your time to practice self-care.
  • Consider working with a therapist.

To reparent yourself, identify unmet childhood needs and skills you lacked. Replace negative thoughts with positive ones. Learn skills like setting boundaries, managing emotions, and self-care. Show yourself the love you missed. Build healthy relationships and seek support. Take time to heal and consider therapy for guidance.
