Did you grow up in a home where emotional truth wasn't safe?
Were you raised by an alcoholic or narcissistic parent, or in a family where compliance mattered more than authenticity?

Many adult children from dysfunctional homes learn at a subconscious level that it's safer to stay quiet, suppress feelings, and abandon themselves than to risk conflict, punishment, or abandonment. Over time, this conditioning leads to survival patterns like codependency, people-pleasing, fawning, and chronic self-doubt.

In this episode, Lisa A. Romano explores the transformative power of the heart. While often thought of as a mechanical pump, the heart is one unified muscle that moves like a vortex. When we live in fear or chronic stress, the heart contracts—wringing out peace, self-love, harmony, and creativity.

Healing begins when we take our power back by shifting attention away from external chaos and returning to the heart space. Presence softens contraction. Safety restores flow. And love expands when we stop living in survival mode.

If you are codependent, you struggle to hold onto your own voice. You have most likely been raised by those who emotionally neglected you as a child. Many adult children come from homes where they were seen and not heard. Often we are those who struggle with anxious attachment and tend to attract narcissistic partners and friends. When the going gets rough, codependents rarely end relationships. We tend to commit ourselves to fixing the relationship, even at the cost of ourselves.

As we heal from codependency, we learn to appreciate the power of emotional detachment and discernment. To achieve such objectivity, we learn to observe rather than absorb others, and especially those who are narcissistic. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano Breakthrough Life Coach, codependency recovery and narcissistic abuse recovery expert, explains why asking a narcissist specific questions is key to detaching from enmeshed toxic relationship dynamics.

The questions to ask a narcissist, are meant to help you become clearer about the way a narcissist thinks. This type of clarity enables you to develop emotional distance. In this new space of clarity, you begin to find the power to detach from the aching of the inner child. No longer are anxious attachment wounds governing how you react.

Healing from codependency is one of the fastest and loving ways to break free of a narcissistic relationship dynamic. If you are ready to heal at the level of your inner child's subconscious, Lisa's 12 Week Breakthrough Roadmap is the gentlest place to start.

When you awaken to the truth of your toxic family, it is not always easy to stand your ground. The most emotionally honest child in a toxic family will be scapegoated. They will use fear, obligation and guilt to win every argument. Awakening from the fog of a toxic family system is akin to ripping your own skin off. Toxic family systems are plagued by denial and a malignant lack of self awareness. This presents real challenges for the adult child who begins to awaken from dysfunctional family dynamics.

In this episode, you will learn:

✨The signs of toxic behaviors in family systems.

✨How feeling rejected by family members causes a sense of self abandonment.

✨Ways in which to learn how to stand up for yourself when you start to awaken and you want out of the toxic family system.

In this episode, Lisa A. Romano gets honest about the real life challenges of the truthtellers and scapegoats who want out of dysfunctional family systems.

Lisa's 12 Week Breakthrough Program is a neuroscience-based roadmap to help you gently rewire subconscious patterns, regulate your nervous system, and return home to your authentic self.
