Lisa A Romano Breakdown to Breakthroughs Unmasking Parental Narcissism: Codependent Anger's Root
In this powerful episode, Lisa A. Romano, trauma-informed life coach and codependency recovery expert, dives deep into the often-overlooked role that anger plays in the healing journey from parental narcissism and complex trauma. Growing up in a dysfunctional family can leave emotional scars that are not easily seen, but they shape how we experience relationships and view ourselves as adults.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:-
How denial serves as a survival strategy in dysfunctional family systems and how it can keep us stuck in toxic patterns
-
The hidden anger that emerges from growing up with one narcissistic parent and another who was passive or emotionally absent
-
Why it's common to feel guilt or confusion when recognizing anger toward a passive parent, even when they weren't overtly harmful
-
How anger toward both parents can fuel the codependent behaviors and emotional dysregulation that often follow complex trauma
-
The critical step of recognizing your anger as a valid emotion in the recovery process, and how it leads to clarity and healing
When we grow up in a home where one parent's instability wreaks havoc, and the other's passivity leaves us emotionally unprotected, we internalize survival mechanisms like hyper-independence or helplessness. These patterns affect our ability to set healthy boundaries, build trust, and create meaningful connections later in life.
Recognizing anger as part of the healing process is key. It isn't about blaming anyone, but rather about understanding how these dynamics shaped your sense of worth, your self-protection mechanisms, and your relationships today.
