Deep dives

The Reparenting Process Through Self-Energy

Self-energy plays a crucial role in the process of inner reparenting, which leads to healing and transformation for individuals holding trauma or afflictions. As individuals connect with their self-energy, aspects of themselves that have been troubled begin to feel cared for and safe, allowing for a shift in their presentation and behavior. This nurturing presence mimics the environment created by an attuned caregiver, resulting in a natural reparenting that allows individuals to feel held. The process demonstrates the power of compassion and support in facilitating personal change and development.
