If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in a one-sided relationship—where you're the fixer, the rescuer, the peacekeeper—this episode is your wake-up call.
In this powerful episode, best-selling author and codependency recovery expert Lisa A. Romano uncovers the invisible thread between childhood emotional neglect and codependent behaviors in adulthood.
If you:
Feel overly responsible for other people’s emotions
Stay in toxic relationships hoping things will change
Obsess over your partner’s moods
Feel like you've lost your sense of self
...you're not broken. You're running survival patterns wired into your nervous system long ago—when love meant self-abandonment, and your feelings didn’t matter.
This isn’t your fault. But now that you know, it becomes your power.
Lisa explains how codependency is a subconscious trauma response rooted in unmet emotional needs and a lack of safety in childhood. We mistakenly learn that love must be earned through fixing others—especially the ones who hurt us. But this only perpetuates the pain and draws us toward emotionally unavailable or narcissistic partners.
How early childhood trauma wires your brain for codependency
Why rescuing others is a subconscious survival strategy
Why narcissists and toxic partners are drawn to codependents
How to spot the thinking traps of codependency
Actionable steps to reconnect with your authentic self
Whether you're healing from a codependent marriage or waking up to your past for the first time, this episode will help you break free from emotional enmeshment and start living from a place of empowerment and emotional clarity.
