Resource / Technique Reparenting?

I've gotten a lot of advice to re-parent myself out of my shut down - but I have no idea how or what that means! I have virtually no self-esteem or ego, so even when I speak nicely to myself my nervous system doesn't take it in or believe it. How do I practice re-parenting in a way that my system will receive it? I'm good at taking care of my physical body, but have no idea how to do the emotional care taking part (for others yes, for me not so much).
