Self-parenting

The idea of Self-parenting is that a person's "mind" is created in the form of a conversation between two voices generated by the two parts of the cerebral hemisphere. One is the "Inner Parent" represented by the Left Brain with the other voice being the "Inner Child" represented by the Right Brain. The manner and quality by which these "inner conversations" take place between the two voices is most accurately described as Self-Parenting. The Inner Parent is parenting the Inner Child within the "inner conversations".

The individual quality of a person's self-parenting style is said to closely resemble the specific style of parenting he or she received growing up as child.
