What is reparenting therapy?
It's a type of meditation and visualization, where you "reparent" a small version of yourself with the tenderness and affection that your parents didn't give you. I started it right after I had DD3 and it was a very powerful experience. Over time, the Little Florence even started to grow up. When I stopped counseling, my visualization of myself was like a young teenager, having started a baby.

I don't know if I can give it justice. I've written about the "ugly baby" meditations my counselor made me do here a couple of times and how much I resented her for making me do it. But it worked! You might be able to search the site for it.
