There can be many reasons we may want to try out reparenting, it could be past abuse, constant criticism from a parent, getting bullied at school, having to move a lot and change schools, being in the foster care system...The reasons are endless, but what we are doing is trying to find that hurt child within us and help it feel heard and cared for. Because if we haven’t done that we may find ourselves flying off the handle at the smallest trigger, dissociating a lot, or even ending relationships over silly or insignificant disagreements (even though they feel like big deals to us at the time (or more accurately, they feel big and important to our inner child). And that automatic response is because something touched on that hurt inner child of ours, and it responds as such. It could make us want to throw a fit, yell loudly at a stranger, tell a close friend or loved one that we don’t want to see them ever again.. We are acting out of that hurt inner child. I just say all of that so you know that NO you aren’t crazy, you were just hurt when you were younger and we have to take the time to heal from it.
