Lisa A Romano Breakdown to Breakthroughs

Are you the adult child of a toxic, alcoholic, or narcissist? If so, you may find it hard to make meaningful friendships. If this is the case for you, that is not your fault. Survival strategies created during childhood to keep you safe, may be keeping you stuck and in fear as opposed to taking chances on making new friends. Childhood trauma, emotional neglect and narcissistic abuse, inhibit our ability to trust others and it also disrupts our ability to trust the self. Making friends is incredibly challenging for adult children of narcissistic and alcoholic parents, because we have been programmed to associate pain, rejection, and abandonment with close relationships. However, it is possible to find your way back to the divine self through inner child recovery work.

Narcissistic abuse is a form of psychological manipulation that relies on dominance, power, and control, and is enforced most often through various forms of mental abuse. Gaslighting is a tool that narcissists rely on to cause their victims to consistently doubt the validity of their thoughts. Whether a narcissist is aware of their mind games is not as important as recognizing these forms of abuse. Once you recognize gaslighting, projection, and various forms of invalidation, you can far more guard yourself against the trauma bonds these relationships create. In a trauma bonded relationship, your cognitive ability to trust your thoughts, emotions, needs, ideas, opinions, and perceptions will become hindered due to being manipulated to believe that questioning a narcissist is a form of disloyalty. Your very thoughts and emotions will work against you, that is until you gain the invaluable insights you need to arm yourself against narcissistic abuse.

Codependency is a deeply ingrained pattern of behavior that can be challenging to confront and overcome. It stems from a dysfunctional relationship dynamic where one person enables and relies on another to meet their emotional and psychological needs. As a result, the codependent individual often loses touch with their identity, desires, and boundaries. Confronting codependency can be difficult for several reasons. Firstly, it often arises from childhood experiences and learned behaviors, making it a deeply rooted pattern that feels familiar and comfortable, even if it is unhealthy. Confronting codependency means facing these deeply ingrained beliefs and behaviors, which can be unsettling and uncomfortable. Furthermore, codependency often involves a fear of abandonment or rejection. The codependent individual may have developed a strong sense of responsibility for others' emotions and well-being, fearing that if they assert their own needs or boundaries, they will be met with rejection or abandonment. This fear can make it incredibly challenging to confront codependency, as it requires stepping out of the caretaker role and prioritizing one's own well-being. However, it is important to remember that confronting codependency is an essential step toward reclaiming your own autonomy, self-worth, and emotional well-being. It requires a willingness to explore and challenge deep-seated beliefs. You can learn how to expand your awareness, and become more honest with yourself, although this is incredibly challenging for someone who fears abandonment, criticism, and rocking the boat.

The inner child is that part of ourselves that holds the truth of our traumatic pasts. The inner child has been parented by those who may have been unaware they are unaware. When you are raised in a dysfunctional home, the ones in control do not admit that the home is toxic and often rely on denial to keep the sick family system going. The vulnerable narcissistic father, and angry codependent mother, who are stuck in a toxic relationship, can become blind to the damaging effects their immaturity, or lack of awareness is causing their children. However, if you have been raised by toxic parents, all is not lost. Your inner child is an innate, authentic aspect of you that you can learn to honor and connect with at any time. Often, wounded adult children are able to far more for others than themselves. We can benefit from this dynamic by perceiving our inner child as an actual little person within, that is worthy of our love, protection, and compassion. It is my hope, that this episode allows you the ability to begin your inner child healing journey. Dear One, you are enough, but your subconscious mind may be working against you and by default, keeping you stuck in survival patterns that require that you abandon the self. The 21 Day Inner Child Journaling Program can help you begin that journey back to the divine inner child. https://www.lisaaromano.com/journaling-adventure

⭐️ The Effects of a Narcissistic Mother and the Journey to Authentic ❤️‍🩹 In today's episode, you will hear from the daughter of a narcissistic mother, who has found her way back to the authentic self. A narcissistic mother has a significant impact on a child's life and without taking the time to heal, the patterns that develop in childhood as a way to survive, become a way of life. Growing up under the influence of a narcissistic mother can be emotionally and psychologically challenging. The constant criticism, manipulation, and lack of empathy can leave deep scars that affect our self-worth, relationships, and overall well-being. The journey towards reclaiming our authentic selves involves unraveling the layers of conditioning, breaking free from the patterns of self-doubt, and redefining our sense of self-worth. It requires us to confront and process the pain, to explore our emotions with compassion, and to learn to trust and love ourselves unconditionally. This, of course, takes time, and that is why I created The 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program. Committing to your healing journey is an act of self-love and a powerful step towards creating a life that aligns with your true essence. When you embrace the process, honor your emotions, and know that as you heal and reclaim your authentic self, you are creating a brighter and more fulfilling future despite a painful past. Remember, the brain can only play with the tools that are in the shed, so if you grew up living in fear, and toning yourself down to keep others happy, there are neurological pathways that need to understood and reprogrammed in order for you to BREAKTHROUGH the veil of consciousness and live the authentic life you were born to live.

Whether you are the adult child of an alcoholic, or emotionally immature or neglectful parents raised you, it is important to contemplate the effects of such a childhood.

Romano, a world-renowned mental wellness expert, dives deep into some of the not so obvious effects of growing up in an alcoholic, toxic family system.

The inner child is that part of us we can easily lose touch with, who knows our truth and has witnessed and experienced every pain, known and unknown. For adult children of alcoholics or those raised in emotionally neglectful or abusive homes, the inner child is forced to go underground, minimize their emotions, make excuses for being abused, and often have no choice but to live in fear of abandonment. Lisa A. Romano is a world-renowned Life Coach specializing in mental wellness, codependency recovery, and narcissistic abuse. She believes that most, if not all, of our adult upsets can be linked directly to a faulty, negative subconscious belief that originated in childhood. She offers those ready to commit to the conscious healing path her 12 Week Program, which has recently been endorsed by psychologist Dr. Robin Bryman Ph.D., who routinely suggests Lisa's course to her patients to help them develop their self-awareness and self-confidence. In this episode, Lisa sits down with Holly, a member of her conscious healing community.

Love can be complicated especially when unhealed wounds are at play outside of self awareness. It's easy to focus on the output or the return when it comes to love and keep your heart and eyes focused on what you are receiving or not receiving from another person. Whenever we focus on the outside, we lose our way and lose our alignment with the purity of the now moment. If I love you, and focus on what you are doing for me in return, then my intention is tainted because my attention on you comes with strings attached. Unhealthy relationship dynamics can be confusing to sort out and that's why self awareness, and self accountability are so important. To be healthy in a relationship you must be willing to address in yourself the beliefs, assumptions, or behaviors you hold that might be working against your desire to be loving. Codependency is not love. It is a mask for unhealed wounds, and manifests in varied ways, one of which is to love others wishing to be loved in return. Curious and want to hear more? Listen in as renowned Life Coach and bestselling author, Lisa A. Romano, an expert in the field of codependency and narcissistic abuse recovery, explains why and how, loving to be loved is working against your chances of developing healthy relationships.

We all have an inner child. However, not all of us are aware of our inner child, or the unhealed wounds we have carried around with us, since childhood. Many who are on the healing path feel a calling to heal the inner void. Those not on the healing path may not and may not be aware of an inner emptiness, or perhaps they truly are fulfilled human beings. For those of us who are aware of this gaping hole in our hearts, who have carried a sense of dread with us most of our lives, are those who feel called to heal at the level of our soul, and so we throw ourselves into the fire of our own dragons. In this podcast, you will hear Lisa A. Romano, the Breakthrough Life Coach, address members of her conscious healing community, discuss their personal breakthroughs, and how they are successfully navigating the many layers of emotional recovery.

Codependency in relationships isn't sexy and conquering issues related to being codependent are incredibly challenging. Codependency is often related to emotional trauma tied to childhood abandonment and neglect. Feeling invisible, uncared for and unseen arrests a child's emotional growth. Feeling abandoned, a child assumes it is their fault, which causes shame. Below the veil of consciousness, shame causes the ego to live in a defensive state, skirting around abandonment issues. Things like people pleasing, enabling, caretaking and looking to fix others, can be tied to expectation, disappointment, anger and even rage. And because codependency is rooted in the subconscious mind, we often don't even know we are codependent until our lives become unmanageable. That is the value of podcasts such as this, and the work of renowned Life Coach and bestselling mental wellness expert Lisa A. Romano. Listen in as she helps us face the unhealthy ways in which codependency expresses itself in our relationships. And if you are ready to breakthrough the chains of the past, Lisa's online courses can be an invaluable lifeline.

Are you stuck in the wounded ego, hearing your mind tell you you're not good enough? What if I told you, your ego mind is not the real you and that the real you is waiting for you to awaken to the illusion your ego has you falsely believing in? What if the critical voice in your head was a shadow of the past; an echo of those who raised you as a child? And what if, you could develop the mental skills to raise your awareness, and consciousness to the point that you could program your mind as you desired and in alignment with the divinity you are? The ego is a part of the mind that represents the 'I' within. It is not the real, authentic, divine you. It is the you that has been shaped by the default settings of the brain and external experiences. The real you; the authentic you is not limited by ego attachments, negative beliefs about the self, trauma or triggers. And while trauma is valid, as are trigger respones, each of these can be viewed as effects of a cause that resides in the past. The ego attaches to thoughts, beliefs, emotions and perceptions all outside detached awareness. If you are ready to expand your awareness and level up your consciousness, this episode is for you. Lisa A. Romano, Codependency and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Coach, breaks ego consciousness down in this episode.

Loneliness is common for adult children of alcoholics and those who have grown up in dysfunctional homes. As a healing adult child myself, I understand the deep-rooted struggles that individuals from toxic childhoods face, particularly when it comes to loneliness. Those who have grown up in toxic environments often struggle with forming healthy and meaningful relationships due to the lack of love, support, and emotional connection they experienced during their formative years. This can lead to a profound sense of loneliness, as they struggle to trust others and fear being hurt or abandoned once again. Furthermore, individuals from toxic childhoods may also struggle with feelings of unworthiness and low self-esteem. The negative messages and constant criticism they received as children can leave lasting scars, making it difficult for them to believe that they are deserving of love and companionship. This self-doubt can further isolate them, creating a vicious cycle of loneliness and self-sabotage. It is essential for those who have experienced toxic childhoods to seek healing and support, as they deserve to break free from the chains of loneliness and build healthy, fulfilling relationships. In this episode, you will learn a few of my expert tips that can help you conquer toxic loneliness.

Codependency recovery is not for the faint of heart. Codependents often find themselves attracted to individuals with high narcissistic traits due to a complex interplay of psychological factors. One key reason is that codependents tend to have a deep-seated need to care for and please others. They derive a sense of self-worth and validation from being needed and relied upon by others. Narcissists, on the other hand, have an insatiable need for attention, admiration, and validation. This creates a dynamic where the codependent's desire to nurture and the narcissist's desire to be the center of attention align initially. The codependent may believe they can fulfill the narcissist's needs, while the narcissist provides the codependent with a sense of purpose and importance. Additionally, codependents often struggle with low self-esteem and an excessive need for validation from others. They may have grown up in dysfunctional or neglectful environments with unmet needs. This can lead them to seek validation and approval from external sources, such as a narcissistic partner. The grandiose and charismatic nature of narcissists can initially be captivating to codependents, as they see the narcissist as someone who can fill the void within and provide the validation they crave. However, this dynamic can become toxic over time as the codependent becomes increasingly enmeshed in meeting the narcissist's insatiable demands, losing sight of their own needs and well-being. It is important to note that not all codependents marry individuals with high narcissistic traits, and not all narcissists seek out codependents. Relationships are complex, and various factors contribute to their formation. However, understanding the dynamics that can attract codependents to narcissistic individuals can be crucial to breaking free from unhealthy patterns and fostering healthier, more balanced relationships. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano the Codependency and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Expert, takes you deep into the codependent narcissist tango.

Do you fake happiness, or try to pretend you are more okay than you are? If so, you're not alone. Faking happiness is something many of us do without even noticing we are doing it. If you grew up feeling unworthy, and not good enough, you may have been brainwashed and psychologically conditioned to fake happiness. Adult children react to adult situations much like a child would, feeling subordinate to those we perceive as authorities in our lives. Healthy well adjusted adults can make mistakes without being overwhelmed with shame, guilt, and overresponsibility. On the other hand, those of us who struggle with a poor sense of self, who are codependent, who seek approval are those who don't know how to tap into our authentic selves without recoiling. We are those who have been raised to seek approval and deny our true emotions for the sake of validation, acceptance, and in fear of rejection. In this episode, you will learn about why so many of us fake happiness and how you can begin living a more authentic life. If you are ready to breakthrough the veil of consciousness so that you can live a more self actualized authentic life, check out this 3 in 1 offer. 3 Coaching Programs in 1 Offer

In this podcast, Lisa Romano dives deep into how to outsmart a narcissist without them realizing what you are doing. By choosing not to engage with them and by letting go of your need to prove them wrong, you get to win and outsmart a narcissist. Learning to set boundaries with a narcissist is outsmarting them. Remember, narcissists win when you engage, so don't. Become the one a narcissist cannot attach to. Developing a willingness to not argue with a narcissist or to punish a narcissist, helps you stay out of the ring with a narcissist who is built for emotional brawls. Remember, setting boundaries is not only about protecting yourself but also about fostering self-respect and reclaiming your personal power. Are you ready to set boundaries like a boss? If so, Lisa A. Romano has created a one-hour mp3 and a downloadable Boundary Building Workbook that you can access here; https://www.lisaaromano.com/boundary-building-workshop

Spiritual awakening is a bittersweet path to enlightenment. Awakening shatters our perception of reality. We are not taught to observe our thoughts, actions, perceptions, opinions or beliefs. Sadly, if we are raised by toxic parents, or suffer abuse, especially in childhood, as adults, we can remain unaware of how our brain, minds, and bodies have acclimated to trauma. By default, the brain is wired for survival. Below the veil of consciousness, triggers cause particular reactions within us. And because we are not taught to look within, and the world around us is so noisy and full of distractions, we simply react to all that is happening within us and cannot see the loopholes. Awakening is bittersweet because you will need to come out of denial, and you will also need to start paying more attention to emotions you may have pushed away. It is not your fault if you do not know how to process emotions healthily and if your subconscious mind was programmed to believe hiding your true self was what you should do. However, it is possible to reclaim your personal power, silence the outer noise, and learn how to connect to your authentic self. Enlightenment is a journey by which your consciousness expands beyond the limits of egoic constructs. However, ego is as necessary as the higher self. We are here to awaken, learn, expand, and remember who we truly are. Suppose you are ready to break through the veil of unconsciousness. In that case, Lisa A. Romano has created online courses and private communities to help you ascend the various matrixes in our world today, from childhood programming, to collective unconsciousness, doctrine, and relationship trauma.

Living a conscious takes self mastery. The human mind is designed for automation. And just like an email system can be built with 'triggers' to respond to certain actions, as a result of being programmed, the human mind works the same way. You, Dear One, have been programmed by parents, teachers, society, and any other form of indoctrination including religion. If you were raised by alcoholic, or narcissistic parents, what you experienced in childhood has become part of your 'subconscious auto pilot programming.' What you feel on the emotional level affects every cell of your body. And what you think repeatedly, results in your program. And just like machines can be automated by programming certain triggers that result in a desired action, you can become triggered too. To escape this matrix, we must confront the faulty perception of self. And in order to confront our false self, we must first stabilize our awareness enough to be able to tap into the power of metacognition, which is our ability to observe the way we think. Buckle up, Dear Ones, we are taking a deep dive with Lisa A. Romano. In this episode, she explains how each of us is living below the veil of consciousness, unaware we are unaware, and that awakening is the first step toward becoming our powerful, creator authentic selves. Inspiration, motivation, compassion, and wisdom at its best. Lisa has made it her mission to create courses that help others awaken from the matrix faulty negative childhood programming creates.

Ever wonder about emotional healing and the law of attraction? It's not a coincidence that the airwaves we bask in are disorienting. Television, radio, and various social media outlets clammor for our attention. The more distracted we are, the more split our energy is and the less stable is our point of focus, and therefore our energy. Whether we are discussing governments, separation ideologies, politics, or the rights of individuals, or we are contemplating relationship dramas, that which causes us mental unrest makes us weak in every sense of the word, including our energy. Although many poo-poo, the principles of the law of attraction, or they are open to the exploring the subatomic world, is irrelevant. The human imagination cannot tell the difference between real and imagined. Your body can only respond to what is in the mind. If you feel unworthy, your body is weakened, as is your ability to make autonomous decisions that will lead to an empowering life. If you believe you need approval, at the subconscious level, every atom in your body vibrates at that resonance. And while you are worthy of respect, fun, and mutually satisfying relationships and friendships, you will not resonate with these experiences. The good news is, you can change your life when you embrace the principles of the law of vibration. To learn more about Lisa A.

Adult children of alcoholics, or those raised by narcissistic parents have grown up feeling disconnected from their authentic selves. We are those who have grown up feeling like aliens as if we don't fit in. We can tell you how other people feel, but we can't tell you how we feel. We are often those who have followed gurus and spiritual teachers all over the planet without relief. We have experienced toxic shame in childhood, and have been brainwashed to edit ourselves for the sake of others. We have never felt accepted as we are, and so we have never known true authenticity. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano the Breakthrough Life Coach, gently helps those who have felt forgotten, unloved, and like they don't belong to better understand how to come to terms with the idea that just because someone is talking and walking does not mean they are fully conscious. We all act out whatever we were conditioned to believe was true as children. We also rarely question how the default mechanisms of the brain come into play when considering what we believe. Our beliefs become our perceptions and our perceptions become our reality. We see what we believe. Lisa A. Romano has found the loophole out of the matrix of the world of the superficial automation that is the human life experience of the one who has yet to awaken their consciousness. Lisa has committed her life to helping others awaken and escape the trauma matrix, so that they can live lives of autonomy, personal fulfillment, and free thinking. Her programs help to awaken awareness step by step. Her flagship program is a great place to start if you are the adult child looking to regain your sense of self, despite parental or spousal narcissistic abuse, and or if you have grown up editing yourself for the sake of approval, validation, or the fear of abandonment. For a limited time, you may register for three of Lisa's programs for the price of one. https://www.lisaaromano.com/btwm-special

Crazymaking communication with a narcissist can be an incredibly frustrating and bewildering experience. Narcissists often employ manipulative tactics and gaslighting techniques to control and confuse their victims. They may constantly change the narrative, deny or distort reality, and make you question your own sanity. This crazymaking communication undermines your self-confidence and keeps you off balance, making it difficult to trust your own perceptions and judgments. The narcissist may engage in circular arguments, deflect blame, and use tactics such as projection or deflection to avoid taking responsibility for their actions. This constant manipulation and gaslighting can leave you confused, invalidated, and emotionally drained. Furthermore, a lack of empathy and genuine understanding often characterizes crazymaking communication with a narcissist. Narcissists are primarily focused on their own needs, desires, and self-image. They may dismiss or trivialize your feelings, invalidate your experiences, and consistently prioritize their own agenda. Their communication style may be filled with condescension, criticism, and belittlement, designed to assert their superiority and maintain control. Engaging in healthy, constructive communication becomes nearly impossible with narcissists as they are more interested in maintaining their power and manipulating the situation to their advantage. Recognizing the crazymaking communication patterns with a narcissist is a crucial step towards protecting your mental well-being. Remember, you cannot change a narcissist, but you can empower yourself to disengage from their toxic communication and prioritize your own emotional health. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano the Codependency and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Life Coach, explains 5 steps to help you better deal with crazymaking communication.

Extreme parenting, characterized by excessively strict or permissive behavior, can have a profound impact on our self-esteem and ability to set boundaries as adults. When parents are overly critical, demanding, or perfectionistic, it often leads to feelings of inadequacy and low self-worth in their children. Constant criticism and unrealistic expectations can erode a child's self-esteem, making them believe they are never good enough. As a result, they may grow up with a deep-seated fear of failure and an overwhelming need for validation. external This can make it incredibly challenging for them to set healthy boundaries as adults, as they constantly seek approval and fear disappointing others. On the other hand, permissive parenting, characterized by a lack of structure, discipline, and boundaries, can also harm self-esteem and boundary-setting. When parents fail to establish appropriate limits and consequences, children may struggle to develop a sense of responsibility and self-discipline. They may grow up with a blurred understanding of their own needs and limits, making it difficult to assert themselves or say no. This can lead to a pattern of people-pleasing behavior, where they prioritize others' needs over their own, even at the expense of their own well-being. Breaking free from the impact of extreme parenting requires a conscious effort to rebuild self-esteem and learn healthy boundary-setting skills. It involves recognizing and challenging the negative beliefs instilled in childhood, seeking therapy or support to heal past wounds, and practicing self-compassion and self-care. With time and effort, developing a stronger sense of self-worth and cultivating the ability to set firm, healthy boundaries in our adult relationships is possible. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano the Codependency and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Life Coach, helps us understand how growing up in a dysfunctional home can impede our ability to set healthy boundaries as adults, leading to codependency in relationships.

Beware, when you become the narcissist's worst nightmare come true, and you begin to see what they don't want you to see. Narcissists rely on others for narcissistic supply. By manipulating the emotions, and perceptions of others, a narcissist can maintain dominance and control. Without feeling a sense of superiority over others, a narcissist experiences a sense of vulnerability that causes them to react poorly. Narcissists fear rejection because they have an inflated sense of self-importance and believe they are entitled to admiration and adoration from others. When someone rejects a narcissist, it challenges their sense of superiority and can cause them to feel inadequate or inferior. Additionally, rejection can be seen as a threat to their ego, which they will go to great lengths to protect. Narcissists may also fear rejection because it could expose their vulnerabilities and flaws, which they try to keep hidden from others. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano the Codependency and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Expert dives into what happens when you become the narcissists worst nightmare come true. Take part in Lisa A.

Healing an insecure attachment is key to developing healthy long-lasting relationships with others. Those who have been raised by emotionally abusive, or neglectful parents, have been conditioned to live in fear.

One who suffers from an insecure attachment will find it impossible to trust. They may become jealous and seek constant reassurance from the ones they love.

In this podcast, you will learn about 6 questions a narcissist cannot answer with a straight face. As we navigate through life, we encounter different types of people. Some are kind, empathetic, and caring, while others are self-centered, manipulative, and narcissistic. Narcissists have an inflated sense of self-importance, lack empathy, and constantly need admiration and attention. They can be charming and charismatic, but they can also be emotionally abusive and toxic. Identifying a narcissist early in a relationship is essential to avoid getting trapped in their web of manipulation and abuse. Narcissists rarely admit when they are wrong because they believe they are always right. They have an inflated sense of self-importance and believe they are superior to others. Admitting they are wrong would mean acknowledging that they are imperfect, which they cannot accept. Narcissists rarely apologize because they believe they are never wrong. They see themselves as victims and believe that others are always to blame. Apologizing would mean taking responsibility for their actions, which they cannot do. Narcissists lack empathy, which means they cannot understand or share the feelings of others. They are only concerned with their own needs and desires and have no regard for the feelings of others. Narcissists cannot handle criticism because they see it as a personal attack on their character. They have a fragile ego and cannot tolerate any form of criticism or rejection. Narcissists have difficulty accepting responsibility for their actions because they believe they are always right. They blame others for their mistakes and refuse to take responsibility for their actions. Narcissists have difficulty maintaining healthy relationships because they are only concerned with their needs and desires. They use others for their own benefit and have no regard for the feelings of others. Identifying a narcissist early in a relationship is essential because it can save you from emotional abuse and manipulation. Narcissists can be charming and charismatic, but they can also be emotionally abusive and toxic. They can make you feel like you are the problem and that everything is your fault. Trusting your instincts and looking for red flags early on in a relationship is essential. Toxic relationships hinder your personal growth. Narcissists use manipulation to mess with your psychology.

In this episode, you will learn about '11 not-so-obvious signs that you experienced childhood emotional neglect'. Childhood emotional neglect can have a profound impact on our lives and relationships. We can live an entire lifetime and never recognize how our childhoods may have impacted our adult lives. Childhood emotional neglect is a type of childhood trauma that occurs when caregivers do not meet a child's emotional needs. Emotional neglect can take many forms, including ignoring a child's emotional needs, failing to provide emotional support, or failing to validate a child's feelings. Emotional neglect can be intentional or unintentional and can occur in families of all backgrounds and socioeconomic levels. Children who experience emotional neglect may grow up feeling disconnected from their emotions and struggle to identify and express their feelings. They may also have difficulty forming close relationships with others, setting boundaries, and trusting others. Emotional neglect can have long-lasting effects on a person's mental health and well-being, impacting their ability to function in their personal and professional lives. Emotional neglect can be difficult to recognize, as it often occurs in the absence of overt abuse or neglect. However, with awareness and support, individuals who have experienced emotional neglect can heal and learn to form healthy relationships with themselves and others. It is not uncommon to struggle with the need for approval and validation as an adult when you have suffered emotional neglect as a child. Codependency is one of the manifestations of childhood emotional neglect.

Welcome to the Lisa A. Romano Breakthrough Life Coach Inc. podcast. In this episode, we will be discussing how narcissistic abuse can make you sick. Narcissistic abuse is a form of emotional abuse that can have a significant impact on your physical and mental health. When you are in a relationship with a narcissist, your emotions are constantly being manipulated, which can hijack your reticular activating system. The reticular activating system is a part of your brain that controls your attention and focus. When your emotions are being manipulated, your brain is constantly on high alert, which can lead to an increase in cortisol, the stress hormone. This increase in cortisol can have a negative impact on your nervous and immune systems, making you more susceptible to illness and disease. Furthermore, narcissistic abuse can lead to a range of physical symptoms, including headaches, digestive issues, and chronic pain. It can also lead to mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. If you are experiencing narcissistic abuse, it is essential to seek help and support. This can include therapy, life coaching, support groups, and self-care practices such as meditation and exercise. It is also important to set boundaries and prioritize your own well-being. Remember, you deserve to be in a healthy and loving relationship, and it is never too late to make positive changes in your life. Thank you for listening to this episode of the Lisa A. Romano Breakthrough Life Coach Inc. podcast.

In this podcast episode, Lisa A. Romano delves into the topic of son's and mother wounds. She explains how men have been conditioned to suppress their emotions, especially when it comes to expressing vulnerability or seeking help. This conditioning is often reinforced by toxic messages regarding men and emotions, which can lead to a man struggling with suppressed rage. Romano also discusses how emotionally unavailable mothers can cause a son to crave maternal love in the future. This can lead to a man seeking out relationships with women who remind him of his mother, hoping to finally receive the love and validation he never received as a child. However, this can also lead to a cycle of disappointment and frustration, as the man may never truly find the love and validation he seeks. Throughout the episode, Romano emphasizes the importance of healing these wounds and breaking free from the conditioning that has led to emotional suppression. She encourages men to seek help and support and to work through their emotions in a healthy and productive way. By doing so, men can break free from the cycle of pain and find true healing and fulfillment in their lives.

In this episode, learn about why you fear making a decision and what you can do to reduce anxiety and boost your self-confidence. The human mind is a tool that needs to be understood and explored. Sadly, most humans do not take the time to explore their minds, and falsely assume that whatever thoughts and emotions they are aware of are factual. Emotions should not be confused with facts. A child can assume they are bad, and unworthy as a result of emotional neglect, and parental retaliation. If this child's beliefs remain unchecked, at the level of the subconscious mind and at the neurological level, these beliefs harden into facts the mind accepts as truths. Codependency is the manifestation of such unchecked emotions and beliefs. When one is suffering from codependency, they are stuck in the past, reliving and reenacting their childhood trauma survival strategies. Fawning, people-pleasing, and reliance on others for validation and approval keep codependent adults in the role of the wounded inner child. To break free from anxiety, we must awaken to how the mind works and the many ways in which it was divinely designed to help us avoid pain. By default, the human mind can cut itself off from the emotions one needs to accept, in order to avoid the pain of abandonment. This is self abandonment and this results in anxiety, depression, narcissistic, entangled relationships and a myriad of mental and physical health issues. The power of an organized mind, can set you free from psychological upset, however, to gain this mental clarity, one must possess the tools to embrace what the mind is designed to deny. If you are ready to heal the self, visit https://www.lisaaromano.com/12wbcp to learn how you can gain the tools, and insights to live an awakened, healed and empowered life.

Welcome to today's episode of the podcast, where we explore the fascinating and sometimes frightening world of narcissism. In this episode, we'll be discussing what happens when you tick off a narcissist. Narcissists are known for their self-centeredness and lack of empathy, but what happens when someone challenges their inflated sense of self? The answer is not pretty. First, let's talk about what a narcissist is. Narcissism is a personality disorder characterized by a grandiose sense of self-importance, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. Narcissists believe that they are superior to others and often have a sense of entitlement. They crave attention and will go to great lengths to get it. Now, let's get into what happens when you tick off a narcissist. When you challenge a narcissist's self-image or sense of superiority, they will often react with anger and aggression. This is because their ego is fragile, and any perceived threat to their self-image is seen as a personal attack. One common tactic that narcissists use when they feel threatened is gaslighting. Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse where the narcissist will manipulate the victim into questioning their own reality. They will deny their behavior, twist the truth, and make the victim feel like they are crazy. This is a way for the narcissist to maintain their sense of superiority and control over the victim. Another way that narcissists react when they are challenged is by becoming defensive. They may lash out at the person who challenged them, accusing them of being jealous or envious. This is a way for the narcissist to deflect attention away from themselves and onto the person who challenged them. In extreme cases, narcissists may even become violent. This is because they see any challenge to their self-image as a threat to their very existence. They may become physically aggressive in an attempt to maintain their sense of control and superiority. So, what can you do if you find yourself in a situation where you've ticked off a narcissist? The best course of action is to disengage and remove yourself from the situation. Don't engage with the narcissist or try to reason with them. This will only escalate the situation. It's also important to seek support from friends, family, or a professional therapist. Dealing with a narcissist can be emotionally exhausting and can take a toll on your mental health. Having a support system can help you cope with the situation and protect yourself from further harm.
