You Can't Reparent Yourself: A Christian Therapist on Healing Attachment Wounds

As a millennial parent, my reels are inundated with clips giving suggestions on how to heal one’s attachment wounds while also learning to parent one’s own children. It is easy to critique the limited sound-bites that often serve to infantilize the person and exacerbate bitterness and hurt but in this episode, I dive into the actual theory underlying the concept of reparenting. I offer a fair-minded critique based on theology and clinical experience followed by the story of my own grandparents: two people from deeply broken homes who chose a radically different sort of healing leaving a radically different legacy for their children.____Join the conversation on Substack: https://substack.com/@ashleyhagemanMy private practice (Michigan only): https://www.solaceprofessionalcounseling.com/homeMusic by Douglas Hageman https://doughageman.bandcamp.com/ This is a public episode.
