Ideal parents

Imagine parents made exactly for you. Invented ones, who protect you, see you, soothe you, delight in you, and cheer you on as you go explore.

Feel what it's like, in your body, to be a child in their care.

This practice is called the Ideal Parent Figure protocol. One evening of it took me from shame and stalled work back to creating.

The full explanation is a long clinical book, so I made a short, plain one for you: ideal parents, plainly.
