Codependent Narcissist Tango: Unpacking the Attraction

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. If you are ready to breakthrough the veil of consciousness, and live an autonomous and self-actualized life, free of codependency, check out Lisa's 3 in 1 Coaching Program offer. https://www.lisaaromano.com/btwm-special

Faking Happiness; 3 Reason Why You Do It

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

Intelligent Ways to Outsmart a Narcissist

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.

Spiritual Awakening: The Bittersweet Path to Enlightenment

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.

Awakening to the Authentic Self: Reprogramming The Faulty Perception of the Self:

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.

Embrace Your Healing Journey: Unleashing the Power of The Law of Attraction for Inner Transformation

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.

Awakening the Wounded Adult Child From Toxic Homes: From Automation to Authenticity

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

Dealing with a Narcissist: 5 Steps to Help You Deal With Crazymaking Communication

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 Robs You of Your Right to Set Healthy Boundaries

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.
