Self-reparenting is a new theory and procedure for changing the Parent ego state. It has been tested and proven by standardized psychological tests to be effective. It is an action plan that you can use to reprogram yourself.

We have all been partially programmed, even before birth. Now, in the age of technology and the expanding use of computers, we recognize that with specific software we can interact with the computer’s hardware to perform specific tasks. For example, with a word-processing program we can change the text of what we put down on paper. Remnants of the old text may be saved, but the new text will be different according to the choices we make.

A similar process goes on in self-reparenting. The word “self” is important because it indicates that you will decide for yourself what you need to delete, change, or add to the Parent ego state part of your personality so you feel encouraged and able to pursue new happiness.

Based on your own decision to update your old inner Parent, the program uses specific procedures so that you can decrease the power past parent figures have over you. You can create and add additional parent figures, such as a coach who can train your inner Child how to win as an individual in the pursuit of happiness, or win as part of a team. Or, you can create and add a mentor who may be more like a teacher to you as an individual, but who can also instruct you on how to win in your search.

In self-reparenting, you may or may not choose to discard specific positive or negative remnants of your historical parent figures that are now in the Parent part of your personality.

Instead, you will add an extra new parent figure that you create for yourself and who will have positive qualities your own parents might not have had, or might have had but did not express to you. The positive qualities of this new part of your personality will be the ones you decide you want to develop in order to enhance your life in ways that lead to happiness.

Some characteristics in your Parent ego state are okay. Other characteristics may not be. With self-reparenting, you will be able to turn off your internal, outdated programs that contain negative qualities that might interfere with your continuing growth and happiness. This will add to your strengths. You will learn how to be more effective in taking charge of your life and changing what you decide you want to change.
