Reparenting Your Inner Child
An 8-Week Virtual Therapy Group for Adults Who Are Ready to Heal Childhood Wounds
Mondays at 12pm starting November 4th
Quick warning for anyone (like me) with an aversion to therapy-speak: The name of this group, Reparenting Your Inner Child, may make you cringe. That’s okay. Actually you’re exactly the person I would love to take part in this group, so keep reading.
If you are someone who had a less-than-ideal upbringing, you may be struggling in your adult life with…
-
✺
Your Relationships
You find yourself wanting to get close to people but you inevitably pull away. Or perhaps your anxiety gets the best of you, and you end up feeling deeply insecure with the people you love. -
✺
Your Emotional Wellbeing
Feelings have always felt somewhat out of your control. You feel on edge, nervous, afraid and you don’t even really know why. Or perhaps you navigate life feeling shut down, struggling to find a sense of joy or purpose.
-
✺
Your Behavior
You keep doing the same things over and over again, even though you know you shouldn’t. You blow up, avoid, people-please, dismiss, procrastinate, or engage in behaviors that are simply self-destructive.

Your Thoughts
The voice in your mind is incredibly critical, possibly even abusive. The people around you say you’re too hard on yourself, but you’re convinced you aren’t tough enough.
While this is not always the case, these types of common struggles can have origins in your early life experiences. Research in the fields of attachment and childhood trauma suggests that we tend to internalize the voices and actions of our caregivers. From these relationships, we develop a sense of ourselves as loved, safe, and accepted (or unloved, unsafe, and not accepted) that can last well into adulthood.
In other words, your “inner child” holds onto stories and experiences from the past that may or may not be serving you anymore.
But there is good news.
The very same research that suggests this link between our adult wellbeing and our childhood experiences also gives us information about how to heal. Through new experiences and insights, you can unlearn the stories that your inner child may be burdened with and access the wisdom they have for you.
Reparenting Your Inner Child, an eight-week psychoeducation and process group, is all about taking purposeful steps towards unlearning your childhood narratives.
In this group you will:
Identify your attachment style (the way of being/relating/feeling that emerged from your early life experiences).
Understand how your attachment style impacts your nervous system and relationships to this day.
Connect with others who have a similarly complicated early life history (spoiler alert: relationships are a critical ingredient for healing from adverse childhood experiences).
Learn about research-backed methods of “reparenting” your inner child that you can apply immediately.
Gain access to a robust resource list that will be available to you long past your time in this group.
This group is for you if…
You identify as someone who experienced less-than-ideal childhood experiences.
You’re not really sure what an ideal childhood was supposed to look like, but you know what you are experiencing now certainly isn’t ideal.
You’re pretty sure you had a good upbringing, but you still find yourself struggling with your relationships, thoughts, feelings, or behaviors.
You have previously been/are currently in your own therapy and you want to build on what you have already learned.
You want to develop a better relationship with your inner child.
You feel uncomfortable thinking of yourself as having an “inner child” but you’re at least somewhat open to the idea that your early life experiences may still be affecting you.
This group is not for you if…
You have severe trauma that would be better processed in individual therapy. If you’re unsure, please feel free to reach out and we can decide together whether this would be an appropriate process for you.
You have not done therapeutic work of any kind. Therapeutic work includes many kinds of self-development practices, including reading books, listening to podcasts, or other types of healing modalities. If you’re unsure, please reach out!
You are looking for an in-person group experience. Sorry, this will be totally virtual.
