Are you in a relationship with a narcissist and do you feel like you need to walk on eggshells to keep them calm? Do you feel easily controlled due to your caretaking nature? Can you identify codependent traits in you, such as low self worth, negative self talk, feeling shame-based, and needing the approval of others to feel like you are okay, and not going crazy?
If you are codependent, most often you do not know it. Seeking approval, and worrying more about what others think about you than what you think about you has become a way of life. In childhood, your behavior was tied to your self worth and not your innate worthiness, so today, you subconsciously seek out similar dynamics in which you repeat your childhood patterns of needing others to give you permission to feel worthy.
The codependent narcissist relationships is similar to two magnets being drawn to one another. One needs and attention and the other feels compelled to abandon their own needs just to pour out their attention onto others in exchange for a sense of self. The codependent is completely governed by faulty childhood programming and can die in this self abandoning paradigm and never awaken. This happens all the time and is why many people on their death beds most regret NOT acting on behalf of the self during their lifetimes rather than worrying about what other people thought about them.
In this episode, Lisa A. Romano Breakthrough Life Coach and #1 bestselling author of The Road Back to Me (2012) and creator of the Codependency Recovery Accelerator, The 12 Week Breakthrough Roadmap, helps you to understand codependency as a mindset or paradigm that traps you within its walls all outside of your limited conscious awareness. Her passion for helping adult children from toxic homes, such as those born to alcoholics, narcissists, or the emotionally immature, is rooted in her desire to help others transform their inner wounds into inner strengths. Romano was awarded the title of the #1 Most Influential Person of 2020 due to her deep, uncanny, understanding of codependency and the negative adverse childhood experiences responsible for this life lived from the perception of a lost self.
She is ready to help you find your true self, and equip you with the mindset training required to breakthrough the veil of illusions that have kept you trapped in codependent narcissistic paradigms.
