Reparent Yourself: How to Become Your Own Source of Love and Approval


Listen Later

There’s a reason why it’s so hard to silence or ignore our inner critic. It’s the same reason why we doubt our own experiences and body wisdom. It’s also why we often feel like in order to be lovable we need to do more instead of just being ourselves.

 

Childhood is our most sensitive phase. We’re like sponges soaking up everything around us with no filter. Unfortunately, some of the things the adults did (or didn’t do) become wounds that follow us into adulthood. So many of us grew up pickled in criticism, so we never felt like we were enough. The critical words we hear become the soundtrack of our lives, and even though we try, we just can’t shake them.

 

Here’s the thing: the core YOU is lovable as you are. Instead of being fueled by the approval and love of others, we have to shift to being our own source of love and approval. That’s how we heal from the wounds and experiences of our early years.

 

How do we identify the wounds that were created in our childhood? How do we become a stable source of our own self-love? How do we learn to speak to ourselves kindly?

 

In this special episode, we talk about how to heal our younger selves so that we change how we show up today.

 

You’ll also learn about;

-How to use an “mmmm” to interrupt the inner critic

-Why language is where we’re hardest on ourselves 

-How to find your voice when you were raised to doubt your own experience 

-The easiest way to dissolve being hard on yourself
