Reparenting Your Inner Child: A Journey of Self-Discovery

Dear Mindful Readers,

For me, I yearned for my mother to reassure me that life's twists and turns were not my fault, especially during the tumultuous times when her relationship with my stepfather was unraveling. Instead, she mistakenly conveyed to my eight-year-old self that our move to The Netherlands was because of me. The weight of false guilt burdened me throughout my childhood, making me feel like a bad luck omen, a cursed child incapable of getting anything right. I carried this mental anguish with me until I became a parent myself.

Now, let's delve into the question posed at the beginning of this newsletter: What is the one thing you wish your parents would have told you when you were a child?

Our childhood experiences, both positive and negative, often linger in our subconscious, influencing not just our parenting styles but also other interpersonal relationships. Take a moment to reflect on recent situations, considering how you reacted and what could have been done differently.

I would like to congratulate you if you've already engaged in this self-awareness and reflection process — the first crucial steps in reparenting yourself and your inner child. Now, it's time to take action based on your newfound insights.

Reparenting is an ongoing journey of self-discovery. Over the past two decades, I've dedicated myself to this transformative path, continuously learning and growing.

With warmth and mindfulness,
