A reluctant reader who found out I have a reading difference in adulthood. Audiobooks have changed my life. I like weird and sexy books.

Reparenting the Inner Child: The New Science of Our Oldest Wounds and How to Heal Them

Reparenting the Inner Child: The New Science of Our Oldest Wounds and How to Heal Them

Nicole LePera

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. We all carry the imprint of our earliest years. 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. Most of us made it through with a mix of love and lack. And 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 lives within us and 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. Through her holistic framework that models individual development, 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. Enlightening, empowering, and clarifying, Reparenting the Inner Child is a book that will stand the test of time as a comprehensive guide for personal development and healing, and a resource that will forever change the way we understand ourselves.

    "I gave up perfection in any other aspect of my life long ago. It's simply not possible with a brain like mine. But my art is different. It's the better version of me. The version I wish people could know me by." (Tried my best to get the quote right since I am listening to it)

    😭 This feels relatable af. Everything that happens with her painting after this quote just felt so fucking relatable
