Lisa A Romano Breakdown to Breakthroughs

The most dangerous people in our lives are not strangers, they are people we know and love. For a child, the most dangerous people are their parents and step-parents, and for adults, the most dangerous people in their lives tend to be their partners. In this eye opening podcast, you will learn about the statistics that suggest that while we teach children about stranger danger, w are neglecting to fully comprehend the totality of the abuse that occurs simply because adults have access to powerless children. This is not to suggest that all parents and all step-parents are abusive; however, statistically speaking, one of the contributing factors to child abuse and neglect tends to be associated with a nonbiological step-parent.  This podcast comes with a trigger warning, because it speaks the truth, a truth that many may not be ready to accept has occurred to them, a truth that a parent may not be ready to face about their choice in a spouse that had access to their children, or it may sting the eye of the one who has neglected and abused a child, or spouse.  The intention of this conversation is to fully acknowledge what is statistically true, so that we can all become more aware and responsible for who has access to our children, in addition to becoming more conscious of the fact that our partners are the most dangerous people in our adult lives. It's not the guy hanging out on the street corner at 3:00 am we need to worry about. It's those we love who may associate love with control, dominance, and power. Once we become entangled with them, we need to be more cognizant of the quality of the relationships we engage in.  If you're codependent, you are at great risk for becoming entangled in toxic relationships dynamics and that is not your fault.  Breakthrough with me here, with the 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program.  

In this podcast, learn about the codependent communication struggles no one talks about. In codependency, the focus is usually on keeping the peace, avoiding conflict, and managing someone else's emotions, at the expense of your own truth. This makes authentic communication feel dangerous, especially if you grew up in a toxic environment where speaking up led to punishment, rejection, or emotional withdrawal. Poor communication is one of the defining features of toxic relationships, especially when one or both partners are codependent. Rather than say what they mean, codependent people tend to hint, people-please, or stuff their emotions down to avoid being abandoned. Over time, this leads to resentment, confusion, and emotional disconnection. Without clear, honest communication, even the strongest connection can break down under the weight of unspoken expectations and unmet needs. Healing from codependency means learning how to communicate with clarity, courage, and compassion. It requires unlearning the belief that your needs don't matter and developing the inner safety to speak your truth.  Whether you're in recovery from a toxic relationship or just starting to recognize codependent patterns in your life, learning how to communicate effectively is essential if you want to build real intimacy and self-respect. The first step, is telling the truth, and learning to take accountability for poor communication skills, while understanding with self compassion, it could literally be no other way.  Today, if this resonates with you, you have a shot at healing your life by unlearning the survival patterns that kept you feeling safe, that also kept you stuck repeating the faulty patterns from the past. Are you codependent? If so, you probably have an insecure, anxious attachment style, and the good news is, we can fix that!  Calling all serious, ready, willing and able souls who have the time and can invest in themselves at this time to finally take their lives back.

Socrates once said,“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but building the new.” If you've ever wondered how long it might take you to heal from narcissistic abuse, emotional neglect, codependency, or even addiction issues, you're in the right place. When emotionally, financially, and spiritually abused, the amygdala takes over and life can become minuscule. All we can focus on, when being abused, persecuted, judged or gaslit, is the moment. And although this is a sacred design created to help us avoid threat and harm, the human brain can become stuck in fight or flight. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano, a Breakthrough Life Coach, uncovers a simple yet profound mindset shift that can help you heal sooner rather than later. As a survivor of narcissistic abuse and an adult child of two unrecovered, emotionally abusive, and neglectful alcoholic parents, Lisa has relied on self-discovery work focused on healing at the subconscious level, compassionately embracing her inner child every step of the way to become an international advocate for adult children everywhere. Her research and nearly 30 years of self-healing work have established her as a prominent global voice in mental wellness, personal healing, and transformation.  Begin your healing and transformation journey with Lisa's groundbreaking approach, which is grounded in the latest trauma research, neuroscience, and cognitive science.

In this episode, you will explore 10 distinct forms of narcissistic manipulation tactics and the true agenda of a narcissist with whom you must engage, communicate, parent, and resolve issues. Those who display narcissistic traits often do not recognize themselves as narcissists. Instead, they tend to hold on to their grand illusions of themselves or see themselves as the victims of others. When they are up, it is because they believe others see them as the best, smartest, most beautiful, creative or talented. When they are down, that is because they feel victimized by evidence that someone, maybe you, no longer feed into their grand illusions of themselves. Lisa A. Romano Breakthrough Life Coach, Award winning author, meditation teacher, course creator, and podcast host, is on a mission to awaken those who live below the veil of consciousness, and who are in toxic, enmeshed, codependent, subjugating relationships with those who are either narcissists, or who have high narcissistic traits. As an adult daughter of narcissistic and codependent parents, and as someone who escaped the undertow of a toxic marriage herself, she understands that the first step in healing from a narcissistic relationship is recognizing the signs that you are actually in a narcissistic relationship.  Ready to begin your healing journey?  Embark on the path to conscious awakening, emotional healing, and transformation with Lisa's Conscious Healing Academy, which includes a 3 tier coaching system that assists with one's awakening, emotional intelligence, and mental and emotional mastery.  12 Week Breakthrough Program (Level One - The Awakening) 8 Week Master Your Reality (Level 2 -- Deliberate Creating) Soul School - (Level Three -- Ascending Ego) To learn more, contact Lisa and her team members here; Contact Website Spotify Award Winning Books  Facebook Support Group  

In this episode, we're breaking down the subtle but dangerous ways narcissists use coercive control in conversations to manipulate, destabilize, and maintain dominance over others. If you've ever walked away from a conversation feeling mentally foggy, emotionally drained, or questioning your own thoughts, you may have been subjected to narcissistic coercion without even realizing it. Coercive control is a form of psychological abuse that narcissists use to undermine your confidence, distort your reality, and keep you second-guessing yourself. Unlike overt aggression, these tactics often fly under the radar, making them difficult to recognize until the damage is already done. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How narcissists use rapid-fire questioning to overwhelm you, keep you off balance, and push you into emotional dysregulation. Why gaslighting is a core tool in coercive conversations and how it causes you to doubt your memory, perception, and even your sanity. The subtle way narcissists withhold information, distort facts, or contradict themselves to create confusion and maintain power over the narrative. How guilt, shame, and fear are weaponized in conversation to manipulate you into compliance and emotional submission. Why they interrupt, talk over you, or shift blame to prevent you from asserting yourself and setting boundaries. The Psychological Impact of Coercive Control Research shows that victims of coercive control often experience chronic stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and cognitive dissonance—the mental discomfort caused by holding contradictory beliefs. Over time, these conversations can leave you feeling powerless, disconnected from your own thoughts, and emotionally dependent on the narcissist for validation and approval. But knowledge is power. Once you learn to recognize these tactics, you can stop engaging in their games and take back control of your own mind. Breaking Free from the Cycle Healing from narcissistic coercion requires self-awareness, emotional detachment, and boundary-setting. In this episode, we'll discuss practical strategies to help you: Stay grounded and recognize when a conversation is designed to manipulate you. Trust your own perception rather than seeking validation from the narcissist. Respond with clarity and confidence instead of falling into the trap of emotional reactivity. Use gray rock and other disengagement techniques to limit their control over your thoughts and emotions. If you've ever struggled to hold your own in conversations with a narcissist, this episode is for you. Understanding their tactics is the first step to reclaiming your voice, your confidence, and your emotional independence. Tune in now, and let's expose the mind games so you can break free from the cycle of coercive control once and for all! Become immune to narcissists by healing the unhealed wounds that make so many of us more vulnerable to their abuse. The 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program is the healing method and modality that has helped thousands stop falling for narcissists. https://www.lisaaromano.com/12-wbcp To learn more, contact Lisa and her team members here; Contact Website Spotify Award Winning Books  Facebook Support Group        

If you love a narcissist and you're here listening to this podcast, chances are you are learning to understand that you are not viewed healthily and that perhaps the person you are dealing with perceives you through a skewed lens. Maybe you're realizing that it's not you and there is nothing you can do to please a narcissist, although God knows you've tried. Sadly, a narcissists mind works in black and white. You are either for them or against them, which is why having any type of conflict or disagreement is so earth-shattering to them and why they can become so mean, angry and vile with a flip of a switch.  To a narcissist, you are in their life because you represent an asset of some sort, most often as narcissistic supply. However, when a narcissist begins to sense that you can see through them, and especially if you stand your ground, their minds begin to view you as a liability. If a narcissist is unable to dominate you through coercive control tactics, you will be discarded sooner than later, because to them, you have now become a liability and offer them no value.  It's sad but also true and incredibly clarifying ONCE you see the dynamics for what they are.  Are you ready to develop that stainless steel spine we all need in order to develop self love and start manifesting the lives we deserve and desire, free of toxic narcissistic and codependent dynamics? If so, start your transformation journey with Lisa here; Breakthrough Program  Contact Website Spotify Award Winning Books  Facebook Support Group

How often do you look within and hear yourself asking the only questions that have any real potential to change your life, such as, "Who am I?, or "Why do I feel not good enough?" If you're like most people, you may never question whether or not you question the quality or validity of your thinking. That's why Lisa A. Romano Breakthrough Life Coach wants to activate higher consciousness within you so that you have a chance at changing your life outcomes.  While going through the early stages of recovery, Lisa realized she had an authenticity problem.  Being raised to fear her mother's gaslighting, rejection, and emotional neglect, conditioned Lisa to feel as if her authentic self needed to be abandoned.  Learn why it is essential to stop apologizing if you are truly serious about becoming a cycle breaker and healing from codependency.

If you struggle with worrying about what others think, you may be vulnerable to narcissistic manipulation. Codependents are often conditioned to seek external validation, fearing rejection or judgment. Narcissists exploit this by twisting reality, making you question your own experiences, and using your need for approval against you. They may say, "You're too sensitive," or "No one else sees it that way," to gaslight you into doubting yourself. They might also manipulate social perceptions, controlling how others see you through smear campaigns or triangulation.  In this episode, Lisa A. Romano exposes these tactics and teaches you how to detach from the fear of judgment, trust your own reality, and break free from the narcissist's control. If you don't know just upset you can become when others perceive you in a negative way, you might not realize how someone with high narcissistic traits could use that fear against you to keep you stuck!

Have you ever felt like someone's psychological slave, as if every thought you have, you must worry what someone in your life is going to think or feel? If you have ever loved a narcissist, you may have slowly lost yourself overtime and not even realized it until you felt like you were going crazy or like you were losing your mind. A narcissist lives in a very unique fantasy world, in their mind, and you are merely an actor in their play. You do not exist as an autonomous 3D human being, with your own unique beliefs, needs, expectations, emotions or opinions, at least not in their heads you don't. No, you play a role in their life and whether you realize it or not, in their eyes, you are their psychological slave and you are to bend when they blow. Lisa A. Romano, a breakthrough life coach, and expert in codependency and narcissistic abuse recovery, clearly explains in this episode how a narcissist uses their perception as a weapon of manipulation against you. Additionally, a special warning goes out to those who struggle with self-doubt, low self-worth, and the need to be understood, needed, and who identify as codependent. You have been conditioned since childhood to seek validation outside yourself to feel worthy. Dear One, you are a prime target for narcissistic abuse.  Listen good! In this episode Lisa is going to help you develop that stainless steel spine all codependents and those who have been psychologically manipulated by narcissists need to strive for on their transformation journey from inner wounds to inner strength.  Work with Lisa here: Codependency Recovery Accelerator Apply for her VIP Mastermind Groups VIP Mastermind Group Coaching Listen to One of Lisa's Books for Free Books  Join Lisa in Person at the Art of Living Center in May 3 Day Inner Child Retreat

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.  Begin your Breakthrough journey here: Codependency Recovery Accelerator Ready for an enriched coaching and mentoring experience?

Are you codependent? If so, you may be suffering from codependency trauma. Once you see codependency traits, signs and symptoms showing up in your relationships, particularly codependent narcissist relationships, you can't unsee it. Codependency recovery relies on the ability to look within to make peace with our shame, low self-worth, and abandonment issues.    If you are in a codependent relationship, you may have noticed that you seek approval, feel like a doormat, enable, fix, and fawn. The four f's of childhood trauma are fight, flight, freeze and fawn. Codependency is considered the fourth F, the fawning aspect of childhood trauma. To overcome codependency in relationships, first, you must identify your codependent traits. Then you must learn to embrace inner child recovery healing work. From there, if you have been exploited or manipulated or have suffered gaslighting abuse from a narcissist, you will also need to heal cognitive dissonance.  Another key healing aspect of codependency recovery is learning to develop a mindful practice and to take seriously the need to reprogram the subconscious mind.    The five pillars of codependency recovery include, inner child healing, codependency healing and recovery work, narcissistic abuse recovery, mindfulness training and retraining the brain at the neurological and subconscious levels.    Do you think you might be in a codependent relationship?

The narcissistic discard can come on suddenly and when you least expect it. Often, discards occur in the face of conflict when a narcissist is in fear of being exposed. If you are a somewhat healthy person, who believes in fairness, and authenticity, in time, the narcissists inability to go deep and to live with accountability will be revealed. If you are not prepared for what happens when you and a narcissist experience even a minor conflict, you might go down a rabbit hole looking for ways to resolve an issue they are incapable of resolving. Instead, a narcissist positions themselves as a victim, demonized you and relies on backward rationalization to help justify discarding you before their shortcomings become exposed. If you have ever experienced a discard, this episode will undoubtedly help clear your mind from the tangled web of disordered thinking and self preserving rationalizations of a narcissist.  Make 2025 your breakthrough year and join Lisa in her next live online course, beginning February 9th.

Narcissistic abuse causes brainfog, mental confusion, emotional insecurity and paralyzing self doubt. Cognitive dissonance implies our minds are at war with two opposite beliefs, ideas or emotions. On one side, we may have been duped and manipulated into believing the narcissist we love is altruistic, and kind, while on the other, we may be feeling manipulated and taken advantage of. Until we can decide on what is true for us, our minds remain deadlocked, and we are prime targets for narcissistic others.  In this episode, Lisa A. Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach, award-winning author, and expert in the field of codependency and narcissistic abuse, will learn about the power of ignoring a narcissist. As a mental and emotional wellness expert who has dedicated the past three decades of her life designing mental and emotional training skills to help survivors empower themselves from a controlled, stabilized state of awareness, Lisa explains the hidden power each narcissistic abuse victim has and how to begin mastering this internal process she says a narcissist hopes you never learn to cultivate, appreciate or practice.  If you're ready to expand your mind and your life, it's time to buckle up for this episode of Breakdown to Breakthrough with Lisa A.

Have you ever felt unable to break up with a narcissist? Have you ever wanted to understand why you attract narcissists even though you are kind-hearted, fair, empathic, and considerate? If you find yourself entangled with highly narcissistic people and feel stuck and confused, it is time to unravel the invisible attraction. Narcissistic people lash out, react, and often view themselves as altruistic and good. In the grandiosity of one's false perception of self, those who love narcissists discover themselves baffled by a narcissist's solidified flattering opinion of self.  Codependents, people-pleasers, and those who have been conditioned to seek approval as a result of childhood emotional neglect, feel more comfortable chasing approval than ever receiving it. For this reason, the energetics of a narcissistic-codependent relationship work, albeit in a dysfunctional way. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano unravels the invisible mysteries of why and how it is one can fall in love with a narcissist and feel so uncomfortable with ending things.  Make 2025 your breakthrough year and join Lisa in her next live online course, beginning February 9th.

Have you ever heard and felt yourself wishing you could say what you meant, with conviction, without worrying about what other people thought or felt about you? If so, you're not alone. Every human being wishes the same thing, although most may never come into conscious awareness of such a truth. That's because the mind, body,and brain are built for auto-pilot, like breathing and digestion. Most thoughts are entirely rooted in the subconscious mind, an automated program. Until one awakens and begins reprogramming the mind, humans tend to do what they were taught to believe is essential to survival since childhood. In this episode of Breakdown to Breakthrough, Life Coach Lisa A. Romano explores how we can begin the process of becoming more authentic despite faulty subconscious childhood programming, which often has us seeking approval and fearing disapproval all outside of conscious awareness. Weaning yourself off from other people, is a facet of the divine inner transformational journey.  Make 2025 your breakthrough year and join Lisa in her next live online course, beginning February 9th.

If you have ever loved a narcissist, you eventually discover that no matter how hard you have tried to empathize, support, and or nurture them, it was never enough. Highly empathic people are generally agreeable, which is what the narcissist requires. Narcissists rule in relationships with those with high empathy. However, narcissists eventually always lose in relationships with empaths, because in time, empaths begin to understand that their kindness has been taken as a weakness. When a healed empath is done, it is game over.  In this episode, tune in as Lisa A. Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach and creator of The 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program, an online roadmap that helps reorganize the subconscious mind for logic, reason, and self-love despite faulty, negative childhood programming, explains why narcissists always learn that you can push an empath just too far.  Embark on the path to conscious awakening, emotional healing, and transformation with Lisa's Conscious Healing Academy, which includes a 3 tier coaching system that assists with one's awakening, emotional intelligence, and mental and emotional mastery.  12 Week Breakthrough Program (Level One - The Awakening) 8 Week Master Your Reality (Level 2 -- Deliberate Creating) Soul School - (Level Three -- Ascending Ego) To learn more, contact Lisa and her team members here; Contact Website Spotify Award Winning Books  Facebook Support Group

If you have been dealing with a narcissist, you might be feeling extraordinarily confused. You might be starting to doubt yourself, what you heard, perceived, felt, or experienced. It's incredibly challenging to trust your sixth sense of intuition when your reality is being tossed and spun by emotionally arrested and immature grown adults who lack self-awareness, self-accountability, self-inquiry, and empathy neurons that allow for one to develop the conscience that prevents them from wanting to abuse someone mentally, emotionally or otherwise.  Healthy people check in with themselves. Their brains have healthy empathy mirror neurons that prevent them from delighting in scrambling the emotions and minds of others. When it comes to those with high narcissistic traits, you are dealing with someone who is far less compassionate and for more able to cross lines others with healthier mindsets won't. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano will share insightful awarenesses that will help you sift through the cognitive dissonance, so that you can regain your sense of trust again regarding what you feel, perceive, believe, need and desire.  Lisa will be offering a 3 day retreat/workshop at the Art of Living Center in North Carolina in May of 2025.

In this episode of Breakdown to Breakthrough with Lisa A. Romano, Life Coach and Award Winning Author, you will learn about how humans' innocent ego has no choice but to create a story and identity entirely shaped by external experiences they could not control as a child. Lisa is a world-renowned expert in the field of mental, emotional, and spiritual growth, and she combines sound psychological, neurological, and emotional concepts in her conscious healing process. She believes that the path to empowerment begins with the miraculous power of self inquiry, in which the mind awakens and learns how to observe itself.  This power is called metacognition, and Lisa strongly believes that humans suffer because they have not been taught how to activate this state of higher consciousness. Instead, many remain locked within the consequences of their traumatic childhoods, and tethered to emotional flashbacks, and a heightened survival response, unaware they are unaware of the internal mental operations at play.  In this session, Lisa describes her pathway to higher consciousness and enlightenment in the hope of encouraging anyone who hears her words to begin looking within, not to judge, protect, or defend what might be found. Instead, it is her desire to inspire others to learn how to take the inner transformation journey through the lens of an objective silent witness for the purpose of self understanding, self compassion, and ultimately self actualization.  You can learn more about how you can begin working with Lisa either as a private client or as a student of her work in one of her healing, groundbreaking and transformative coaching programs.  Embark on the path to conscious awakening, emotional healing, and transformation with Lisa's Conscious Healing Academy, which includes a 3 tier coaching system that assists with one's awakening, emotional intelligence, and mental and emotional mastery.  12 Week Breakthrough Program (Level One - The Awakening) 8 Week Master Your Reality (Level 2 -- Deliberate Creating) Soul School - (Level Three -- Ascending Ego) To learn more, contact Lisa and her team members here; Contact Website Spotify Award Winning Books  Facebook Support Group

Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach and Award-Winning-Author, dives deep into how and why children of trauma, emotional neglect and unpredictable homes, remain blocked from their authentic self.

Breakdown to Breakthrough with Lisa A. Romano  4 Odd Trauma Responses Your Body Holds Onto In this insightful episode, Lisa A. Romano explores how unhealed trauma responses can remain stuck in the body, manifesting as physical symptoms that often go unnoticed or misunderstood. Lisa discusses four unusual trauma responses that may be affecting you more than you realize: Tightness in the Belly: This common response is often linked to unresolved fear or anxiety, stemming from past traumatic experiences. The body holds onto this tension, signaling that something remains unresolved. Freaking Out When Things Start Going Well: For many, success or happiness triggers a fear response. This reaction is rooted in the belief that good things won't last, leading to self-sabotage or overwhelming anxiety just when life starts to improve. Mistaking Thinking for Feeling: Trauma can disconnect you from your emotions, leading you to rely heavily on thinking rather than truly feeling. This can create a barrier to emotional healing, as the mind takes over what the heart needs to process. Pursed Lips or Tightness in the Face, Neck, and Jaw: Chronic tension in these areas physically manifests suppressed emotions, particularly anger or frustration. This response can become habitual, reflecting unexpressed feelings stuck in the body. Lisa delves into how these physical responses are not just quirks but signals from your body that something deeper needs attention. By recognizing and understanding these trauma responses, you can heal the mind-body connection, release stored tension, and move towards a more balanced, authentic self.
