reparenting
Reparenting is a self-rescue program in which you retake on the role of your own parent to re-educate your inner child. What is meant to heal old wounds often creates a fresh loop of existential purgatory. Under the guise of therapist smiles and cookie bribes, you perform a cult-like ritual to convince your past self. In the end, you become the parent and child in a perpetual game at the mercy of your own fickle need for approval.
