I haven't ever experienced "reparenting" in therapy and I don't think it would be something I'd benefit from. Mainly I've viewed the Ts I've worked with as equals who could mentor me about certain deficits I felt I had. I've never looked at a T as a parent or parental substitute. Like many people on here, I had a difficult childhood with parents who struggled to be the parents I needed, but I wasn't looking to replay that time in my life. Perhaps that's because I entered therapy later in my life, after age 35. That makes me feel, for me, that I'm already too far into adulthood to benefit from a reparenting type of therapy. I have learned from Ts things like establishing good boundaries, how to establish relationships that are more evenly balanced in the "give and receive" area and other similar issues that followed me into adulthood.

That said, I do understand how others might benefit from this form of therapy and I'd imagine that a lot would get a great deal out of it. Different strokes for different folks!
