382: Reparenting Your Inner Child, Self-Abandonment + Nervous System Healing | Dr. Nicole LePera | Nicole LePera
About this episode
Dr. Nicole LePera discusses how the inner child influences behaviors and offers insights on healing through nervous system regulation.
Why do you overreact, shut down, or put everyone else first, even when you know it’s hurting you? In this episode, Nicole LePera, breaks down how your “inner child” shapes your behaviors, from people-pleasing to perfectionism to emotional flooding, and how self-abandonment quietly shows up in your daily life. We also cover why these patterns aren’t flaws, they’re adaptations, and how to actually change them through nervous system regulation, awareness, and small, intentional shifts. If you’ve ever felt stuck repeating the same cycles in relationships, this will change how you understand yourself and what healing really looks like. → Leave Us A Voice Message!
