This episode deals with Reparenting the Inner Child.  While there are many methods and steps in this journey, I begin by gently asking the question, "What are your triggers...?" and asking us to think back to what the Inner Children in us need. 

Thinking back to the stimulants that bring about certain reactions and behaviors in us is just one of many things that can help us pinpoint certain emotions and thought processes that could be stored in our nervous system, belief patterns, and bodies.
 
All children (and honestly humans of any age) deserve affirmation, nurturing facilitation, security, stability, warmth, and love.  When one or more of these things are missing it leaves a gap in that area that allows us to fill it with what we felt we needed at that time in childhood to survive.

Reparenting takes patience and gentleness with ourselves as we go back and give our Inner Child what they need.

This process includes rewriting old and damaging stories, reprogramming old thought patterns, and deconstructing old beliefs about ourselves, life, and others that may be wired into our subconscious affecting our behaviors, habits, thoughts, and choices today.   

This podcast episode is a basic yet gentle beginning to a process that can bring about difficult emotions for some.  So as you listen, if you decide to journal and begin this work, or you have already been on this journey and you are continuing, please be kind with yourself on your healing and liberation journeys.
