Reparenting The Inner Child
with Dr. Nicole LePera and Simona Vivi H
✅ Does your inner critic voice ever tear you down for things you simply didn’t know until you did?
💠That’s one (of many) signals that we have a wounded inner one calling for our attention.

Dr. Nicole LePera (@TheHolisticPsychologist) stopped by our Community (virtually) to talk all things reparenting.
In this interview, we dive into:
- Why “knowing better” isn’t enough to change your nervous system.
- The “utopian search” for being “done” with healing (and what to seek instead).
- How to handle the urgency and anxiety of your “inner critic.”
- Practical steps for reparenting your roller-skating younger-self (and every version since).
- And, of course, we talked about her new book (which is officially available today)

You can find Dr. Nicole’s new book everywhere books are sold. Or visit her website TheHolisticPsychologist.com/books
