Reparenting Wounded Parts for Healing and Growth

How can re-parenting and establishing trust with inner wounded parts aid in trauma recovery?

Trust, boundaries, and developmental trauma are crucial elements in the journey of healing, particularly for those who have experienced significant trauma in their formative years. These elements play a vital role in rebuilding lives, fostering intimacy, and achieving lasting healing. Tanner, a voice in this narrative, perceives these components as deeply interconnected and essential for survivors of complex trauma. With a focus on reparenting Wounded Parts, Tanner advocates for setting boundaries from a place of wisdom and healing rather than from the scars of past hurts.
