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! Tune in now to reclaim your power! We appreciate your like, follow and share.  And if you know someone who needs to know that a narcissist might be using their fears regarding how others perceive them against them, be sure to share this episode with them.  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've ever found yourself constantly giving, endlessly fixing, or pouring into others while secretly feeling empty inside… this message is for you. Today, we're uncovering a truth that every codependent heart needs to hear: the path to healing doesn't start with doing more—it begins with learning how to receive. And not just from anyone… but from God Himself. In this episode of Conquering Codependency God's Way, we'll explore why receiving God's comfort is one of the most vital, yet most resisted, steps in the healing journey. You'll learn how to stop reaching for people to soothe your soul—and start letting the Father truly restore you from the inside out.

Most women going through divorce don't realize they've been living in codependent relationships, desperately seeking external validation rather than trusting their inherent worth. In this transformative episode, I introduce you to a powerful reframing of codependence as "emotional outsourcing" as coined by Beatriz Victoria Albina - the habit of chronically seeking our sense of value from everyone and everything outside ourselves. This pattern didn't emerge from nowhere. From girlhood, we're conditioned to believe our purpose is making others comfortable, prioritizing everyone else's needs, and feeling guilty when we put ourselves first. The devastating message? You're not complete until you fulfill your "duties" as a woman. This harmful programming creates the belief that you're somehow broken or unworthy - especially when your marriage ends. Here's the liberating truth: We can replace emotional outsourcing with a deep, unshakable knowledge of our inherent worth. But contrary to what you might think, the goal isn't complete independence. True healing comes through interdependence - knowing your worth from within while maintaining meaningful connections where you give from abundance rather than obligation. Ready to stop believing you're broken? Your journey to wholeness begins with recognizing your worth isn't determined by anyone else. If this podcast resonated with you in any way, please take a minute to follow and give me a rating wherever you listen to podcasts.To schedule your complimentary consult with Karin click here.For more information and full show notes go to:https://www.karinnelsoncoaching.com/post/ep209

BPD Awareness Can't Save RelationshipsBPD awareness can't save relationships and doesn't mean changed behaviour (spelling Canadian now :) When a person with BPD hasintellectual awareness and can even talk about things at times, too many partners get fooled. Why fooled? Because too many people think that BPD awareness means "they get it" they can change. But emotionally, they don't get it. Whenever a person with BPD is triggered that awareness is lost and behaviour and lack of personal responsibility keep happening.BPD awareness without therapy can't save relationships and doesn't translate into actual change or better relating or any increased understanding of how they effect others. Codependents often feel more fantasy false hope believing that what a person with BPD can say intellectually, between episodes means "hope" for change and the relationship - sadly, this is not true.https://ajmahari.ca/sessionshttps://survivingbpdrelationshipbreakup.com -

In this week's coaching session, Christine Hassler works with Ashlee, who is struggling with a question many people face: how do you know if you're healed enough to enter a relationship? Ashlee shares her experiences with past relationships, childhood wounds, and codependent tendencies that have shaped her fears about choosing the right partner. This episode isn't just about dating—it's about learning to trust yourself and shifting from fear-based decision-making to a place of wisdom and self-awareness. Christine helps Ashlee identify where her fear is coming from, how to recognize patterns, and what it really means to be ready for a relationship.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Have you been in relationships where you felt like you were “dating your wounds” instead of a truly compatible partner? Do you ever question whether you're healed enough to be in a relationship? Are you struggling to trust yourself when it comes to picking the right partner? Do you find yourself looking for unconditional love in a romantic relationship—something you may not have received in childhood? Are you allowing your inner child to do the picking in relationships rather than your wise, adult self?   Key Insights and A-HAs: Healing is a lifelong process, and relationships will always bring opportunities for growth. It's important to recognize whether you are attracting a partner from a place of neediness and past wounds or from a place of confidence and self-trust. Codependent tendencies, such as trying to fix or save a partner, often stem from unmet childhood needs. Trusting yourself is essential to creating a healthy relationship—without self-trust, fear takes over. A partner cannot replace or compensate for the unconditional love you may have lacked in childhood—healthy relationships require personal responsibility for healing.   How to Get Over It & On With It: Identify your inner child's unmet needs and recognize how they might be showing up in your dating patterns. Shift from fear-based decision-making to trust-based dating—stop selecting partners based on what feels familiar (even if it's unhealthy) and focus on what aligns with your vision of a secure relationship. Heal before seeking healing from others—a healthy relationship can be supportive, but it should not be a substitute for deep personal work. Create clear relationship values—write out what a healthy, mature, and non-codependent relationship looks like. Reframe your relationship expectations—instead of expecting a partner to “fix” or “heal” you, seek someone who supports your journey while maintaining a strong sense of self.   Upcoming Event: Love Magnet Workshop If you're looking to attract love from a place of wholeness, Christine's free three-day “Love Magnet Workshop” is happening now.

Borderlines Are Not Relationship WorthyBorderlines are not relationship worthy. They lack a self, have no object constancy and have relational and communication deficits. People with BPD feel very unworthy. They struggle without a known "self" to have any positive regard for "self" or "other". People with BPD often really don't like themselves and this is projected out on to anyone that gets close until a person with BPD can't cope with being close.People with BPD need extensive therapy in a psychodynamic modality of treatment that takes years so that they can find the lost "self" and among other things, develop and nurture their own self-worth first.Codependents also struggle with their own self-worth and need to learn in their healing and recovery that they are worth more than settling for a one-sided 'situationship' with someone with BPD. You deserve to be consistently seen and heard!https://ajmahari.ca/sessions https://survivingbpdrelationshipbreakup.com

BPD Breakup Ghost or Discard Is Not Your FaultBPD breakup, ghosting, or discard is not your fault. People with suspected BPD, diagnosed BPD untreated (or not fully treated) can't stop the ghosting or discards and neither can you. People with BPD often feel out of control in relationships and people with Codependency try to help, rescue, fic and change them. They need years of therapy that they would fully engage in to ever be able to have a healthy, age-appropriate relationships with healthy communication. It takes years of therapy for people with BPD to unlearn maladaptive defenses - namely splitting and all-or-nothing thinking along with not taking everything personally and to build and create a container of self. No matter how many times you recycle as a Codependent with an untreated person with BPD nothing can change. Each relationship recycle you just experience more and more of the same.https://ajmahari.ca/sessions https://survivingbpdrelationshipbreakup.com

It's another edition of Lonely Guy Friday, all you RGF fans. Why you should revisit Christopher Reeves' Superman, why we've seen enough of Batman and Joker, and why it's time for a new Superman. How the cold plunge is healthy but expensive and painful, and how to cold plunge at home in a far less painful way. How a 10 dollar hot water bottle at CVS or any pharmacy can soothe anxiety or a broken heart. How that same 10 dollar hot water bottle and some castor oil could ease your gut issues. How daily morning mass or service could be the thing to get your days and schedule on track. What empty nesters can do to heal and ascend. How your codependence is keeping you in prison and the irony of how the narcissist in you can free your codependent self (but also land you right back while adding time to your sentence). The tie between codependency and addiction. How trauma makes the artist, but also destroys them (as we see in Hollywood all the time). How Joan Rivers visited Kev in a dream, what she said and how I interpreted it - and so can you for your dreams.

Do you reluctantly agree to things you'd rather not do because you don't know how to say no? When you're annoyed about something, do you say everything is FINE rather than saying what's bothering you? Do you also tend to judge someone if they don't pick up on how you really feel? In these situations, there's an expectation that people will intuit our true emotions from the clues we drop.  However, relying on indirect communication can cause stress and resentment in our relationships because how we feel isn't always apparent to others, even if we feel like it is. The solution is authentic and direct communication, which is usually less comfortable, and why we often act rather than talk things out!  I want to empower you to choose to talk and assert your needs, which is what this episode is about. I'll cover why we find it hard to speak our minds, why we may find it easier to judge and blame others, and ideas for being more authentic in our communication.

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.
