I can understand that reparenting and its associated nurturing or loving approach might differ from conventional psychoanalysis or psychoanalytic therapies where therapists adopt a blank slate. I can also understand that there might be cultural factors at play in therapy which set reparenting apart from other therapies in some countries. Maybe I will ask my therapist what sets apart Gestalt (her approach), or other relational depth work, from reparenting. I am in the UK where discussions around the importance of the therapeutic relationship are ubiquitous - you would think that every other therapist is an incarnation of wholesome loving mother earth. The idea of reparenting is quite distasteful to me (it was bad enough the first time around) so my resistance probably tells me quite a lot about my internal experiences.
