Parenting – with its many challenges and complexities – significantly shapes our lives. However, not everyone is happy with how they parent or have parented. The concept of ‘reparenting’ offers a powerful approach to healing and self-discovery by addressing the gaps in our early experiences. Let’s explore effective ways to reparent yourself, reclaim your emotional health, and build the foundation for a more fulfilling life.
EMBRACE SELF-REFLECTION AND AWARENESS
Begin your reparenting journey with self-reflection. Understand the impact of your early experiences on your current beliefs and behaviours. This awareness is crucial to identifying areas that require healing and transformation. “Understanding allows you to accept the effects of the past without placing blame on yourself, promoting a more positive outlook,” says Delhi-based entrepreneur, poet and mother of two sons Megha Chopra. “Kindness towards oneself is made possible by self-compassion, promoting emotional healing.” She believes in accepting flaws and embracing vulnerabilities, and suggests that this helps create a safe-haven within, countering the damaging effects of previous parenting. “You develop resilience through this process, enabling personal development and encouraging a better relationship with self,” she explains.
