Lisa Watson — Reparenting Yourself: Healing Limiting Beliefs to Become a Calmer, More Conscious Parent
In this conversation, Michelle sits down with Lisa Watson, inner-child healing coach and creator of the Reparenting Method, to unpack why parenting—especially complex kids—can feel so emotionally overwhelming, and how our children often activate unhealed parts of ourselves that are asking for compassion, validation, and repair.
Lisa shares:
Why your triggers aren’t about your child. Our strongest reactions come from subconscious beliefs formed between ages zero to seven—long before we had language, logic, or choice.
The truth about the past. The past doesn’t exist in time, but it lives in the body. Healing happens by validating emotional experiences, not reliving or rehashing them.
The Reparenting Method. By meeting your inner child as your higher, wiser self, you can correct the lies learned in childhood and replace shame with safety and self-trust.
Why validation is the only job during a meltdown. Dysregulated nervous systems can’t learn. During emotional overload, presence and validation matter far more than correction.
How healing yourself changes your parenting. When you release shame, perfectionism, and control within yourself, it becomes easier to respond—rather than react—to your child’s behavior.
A powerful reframe for parents of complex kids. Your child isn’t here to break you—they’re here to guide you back to yourself.
Quote to tape on the fridge:
“Your children were divinely designed to be your guide. Every trigger is a gift pointing you back to yourself.”
Whether you’re navigating meltdowns, neurodivergence, or your own inherited parenting patterns, Lisa’s message is clear: healing the child within you creates safety, regulation, and connection for the child in front of you.
