11. Reparenting for Cycle-Breakers

07/29/23 • 36 min

Once we've left behind our bubble of origin, how do we heal the emotional wounds that may still remain? How do we replace the looping mental tapes that still haunt us years later? In this episode, Naomi and Rebecca reflect on the practice of reparenting as a way adults can offer our younger selves the understanding and compassion we may have longed for but never received. Ultimately, reparenting is a practice for anyone raised by imperfect adults–which is why Naomi and Rebecca are already teaching it to their own children.
