I would be offended, I think, if a T suggested coloring or reading to me. She has asked me what "age I feel" at the moment, and I always say the age that I am, I'm me. I don't feel like a little kid, but I know there was a lot of trauma at that time. Reparenting....I'll have to look that up. Because I'm unsure what it is either.

I will say, there have been a couple of recent sessions that involved my T coming to sit by me for the first time. Holding me, rubbing my back, stroking my hair, trying to comfort me when I'd become upset. I will admit that I enjoyed those things....a lot. That is something I did NOT get as a child....and I've longed for it. That wouldn't be her trying to reparent me, would it?
