From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Do the Work and How to Be the Love You Seek comes a groundbreaking guide to healing our childhood wounds and rediscovering our full potential.
As adults, we often fall into patterns that feel irrational or out of character - shutting down, lashing out, people-pleasing or self-sabotaging. Beneath those reactions lies our inner child, a younger part of us still trying to get its needs met the only way it knows how.
Childhood is brief, yet its impact is lifelong. Some parts of us were met with love while other parts were met with silence, criticism or disapproval. To survive, we learned to adapt - learning to over perform, to hide or stay small. Many of us still protect the parts of ourselves that once felt unsafe.
While we can't change what happened, we can change how it impacts our lives today. Reparenting the Inner Child offers a clear, compassionate path to self-integration, combining practical exercises, somatic tools and guided reflections to help us create the safety, love and boundaries we've always needed. Dr. LePera explains how we can cultivate the emotional maturity and regulation to respond calmly instead of reacting, to embrace desire instead of shame and to question the stories we've long believed about who we have to be.
